Measured values of arm asymmetry parameter x = (theta> - theta<)/(theta> + theta<) of a double have appreciable random errors due to errors in positions of radio peaks & of the optically identified galaxy or quasar. These broaden the…
The distributions of galaxies in the environments of 16 large radio sources have been examined using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. In the giant radio galaxy J1552+2005 (3C326) which has the highest arm-length ratio, the shorter arm is found…
We present four Mpc-sized radio galaxies which consist of a pair of double-lobed radio sources, aligned along the same axis, and with a coinciding radio core. We have called these peculiar radio sources `double-double' radio galaxies (DDRG)…
This review provides the background and current perspective of some of the striking asymmetries exhibited by extragalactic double-lobed radio sources, paying special attention to the reported interrelationships among some of them. We…
This is the third in a series of papers that present observations and results for a sample of 76 ultra-steep-spectrum radio sources designed to find galaxies at high redshift. Here we present multi-frequency radio observations, from the…
We have carried out an extensive study of a sample of 13 large, powerful Fanaroff-Riley type II radio galaxies with the Very Large Array in multiple configurations at 330 MHz, 1.4, 5 and 8 GHz. We present the total intensity, polarization,…
Beam power is a fundamental parameter that describes, in part, the state of a supermassive black hole system. Determining the beam powers of powerful classical double radio sources requires substantial observing time, so it would be useful…
Correlations between jet power and active time for z < 0.1 high excitation and low excitation radio galaxies are explored as well as evidence in favor of a specific, non-random distribution for these objects including mid-infrared emitting…
We have formed a new sample which consists of extended extragalactic radio sources without obvious active galactic nuclei (AGN) in them. Most of these sources appear to be dead double radio sources. These sources with steep spectra ($\alpha…
A new list of physical characteristics of 4261 astrometric radio sources, including all 717 ICRF-Ext.2 sources has been compiled. Comparison of our data of optical characteristics with the official International Earth Rotation and Reference…
Images from recent radio surveys were used to determine the radio position angles for over 2000 extended radio galaxies with host galaxies brighter than m$_{r}\sim$18 mag. For 1509 of these their optical axis ratios were obtained, and for a…
We have investigated the correlations between optical and radio isophotal position angles for 14302 SDSS galaxies with r magnitudes brighter than 18. All the galaxies are identified with extended FIRST radio sources. For passive early-type…
(abridged) Powerful radio galaxies often display enhanced optical/UV emission regions, elongated and aligned with the radio jet axis. The aim of this series of papers is to separately investigate the effects of radio power and redshift on…
Extended extragalactic radio sources have traditionally been classified into FR I and II types, based on the ratio r of the separation S between the brightest regions on either sides of the host galaxy and the total size T of the radio…
In order to construct accurate point sources simulations at the frequencies relevant to 21-cm experiments, the angular correlation of radio sources must be taken into account. This paper presents a measurement of angular two-point…
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be divided into two major classes, namely radio-loud and radio-quiet AGNs. A small subset of the radio-loud AGNs is called blazars, which are believed to be unified with Fanaroff-Riley type I and type II…
We address the nature of broad-lined radio galaxies, in particular their radio axis orientation, using new, matched resolution, dual frequency radio observations of a sample of twelve nearby broad-lined extragalactic 3C objects. Radio…
Multi-frequency radio observations of the radio bridge of powerful classical double radio sources can be used to determine: the beam power of the jets emanating from the AGN; the total time the source will actively produce jets that power…
(Abridged) This paper introduces the formalism which connects between rotation measure ($\RM$) measurements for extragalactic sources and the cosmological magnetic field power spectrum. It is shown that the amplitude and shape of the…
In this Letter, the properties of the extended radio emission form SDSS DR7 quasars with $0.4<z<0.8$ is studied. This low redshift sample is useful since any corresponding FIRST radio observations are sensitive enough to detect extended…
