We present high sensitivity ($\sigma_P \simeq 0.6\,$mJy) polarimetric observations in seven bands, from $2.1$ to $38\,$GHz, of a complete sample of $104$ compact extragalactic radio sources brighter than $200\,$mJy at $20\,$GHz.…

We interpret the linear polarization structures observed in extragalactic radio sources, even those oriented at oblique angles to the jet flows, to be due to oblique, relativistic shock fronts in the emitting regions. Many sources exhibit…

Pulsars are among the most highly polarized sources in the universe. The NVSS has catalogued 2 million radio sources with linear polarization measurements, from which we have selected 253 sources, with polarization percentage greater than…

We present polarization measurements at 8.4, 22, and 43 GHz made with the VLA of a complete sample of extragalactic sources stronger than 1 Jy in the 5-year WMAP catalogue and with declinations north of -34 degrees. The observations were…

We present the first results from a pilot study to search for distant radio galaxies in the southern hemisphere (delta < -32). Within a 360 deg^2 region of sky, we define a sample of 76 ultra-steep spectrum (USS) radio sources from the 843…

We present some results from an archival VLA study of ultraluminous X-ray source s (ULXs). These unresolved non-nuclear X-ray sources have luminosities (L_X >= 1 0^39 ergs/sec) which may require somewhat exotic explanations, such as…

Using a deep Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) radio survey covering an area of ~3deg^{2} to a 4\sigma sensitivity of \ge 100 \muJy at 1.4GHz, we study the nature of faint radio galaxies. About 50% of the detected radio sources are…
