A key question in extragalactic astronomy is how the star-formation rate density (SFRD) evolves over cosmic time. A powerful way of addressing this question is using radio-continuum observations, where the radio waves are unaffected by dust…

We use data from the Parkes Half-Jansky Flat-Spectrum (PHJFS) sample (Drinkwater et al. 1997) to constrain the cosmic evolution in the co-moving space density of radio sources in the top decade of the flat-spectrum radio luminosity function…

Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources and Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO) are selected in very different ways, but have a significant overlap in properties. Ever since their discovery it has been speculated that they are young objects,…

In this paper we cross-correlate the FIRST 1.4GHz radio survey with a wide field (~ 1.6deg^2) shallow [f(0.5-8keV) ~ 1e-14erg/s/cm^2] XMM-Newton survey. We find 12 X-ray/radio matches representing 4% of the X-ray selected sample. Most of…

We study the cosmic evolution of radio sources out to $z \simeq 1.5$ using a GMRT 610 MHz survey covering $\sim$1.86 deg$^2$ of the ELAIS N1 field with a minimum/median rms noise 7.1/19.5\,$\mu$Jy / beam and an angular resolution of…

We explore the cosmic evolution of radio AGN with low radio powers (L_1.4GHz < 5\times10^25 W/Hz) out to z=1.3 using to-date the largest sample of ~600 low luminosity radio AGN at intermediate redshift drawn from the VLA-COSMOS survey. We…

We present the population data as predicted by our space density analysis at the SUMSS frequency of 843 MHz. This data demonstrates the potential of the SUMSS survey to trace in detail the change-over in radio source populations from `radio…

In this paper the cosmic evolution of the space density of Fanaroff & Riley Class I (FRI) radio sources is investigated out to z ~ 1, in order to understand the origin of the differences between these and the more powerful FRIIs. High…

We model the evolution of active galactic nuclei by constructing their radio luminosity functions. We use a set of surveys of varying area and depth, namely the deep COSMOS survey of $1,916$ AGN sources, the wide shallow 3CRR, 7C and 6CE…

A catalogue of 14453 radio-loud AGN with 1.4 GHz fluxes above 3.5 mJy in the redshift range 0.4<z<0.8, has been constructed from the cross-correlation of the NVSS and FIRST radio surveys with the MegaZ-LRG catalogue of luminous red galaxies…

In order to determine the relationship between the faint X-ray and faint radio source populations, and hence to help understand the X-ray and radio emission mechanisms in those faint source populations, we have made a deep 1.4GHz Very Large…

We present the most accurate measurement to date of cosmological evolution of the near-infrared galaxy luminosity function, from the local Universe out to z~4. The analysis is based on a large and highly complete sample of galaxies selected…

We use the K-z relation for radio galaxies to illustrate why it has proved difficult to obtain definitive cosmological results from studies based entirely on catalogues of the brightest radio sources, e.g. 3C. To improve on this situation…

We apply a cross-correlation technique to infer the $S>3$mJy radio luminosity function (RLF) from the NRAO VLA sky survey (NVSS) to $z\sim3.5$. We measure $\Sigma$ the over density of radio sources around spectroscopically confirmed…

VLA 1.4 GHz (rms noise ~0.012 mJy) and MIPS 24 and 70 micron (rms noise ~0.02 and ~1.7 mJy, respectively) observations covering the 2 square degree COSMOS field are combined with an extensive multi-wavelength data set to study the evolution…

In this paper, the third and final of a series, we present complete K-band imaging and some complementary I-band imaging of the filtered 6C* sample. We find no systematic differences between the K-z relation of 6C* radio galaxies and those…

We present radio and optical analysis of a sample of Low Luminosity Compact (LLC) objects, selected from FIRST survey and observed with MERLIN at L-band and C-band. The main criterion used for selection was luminosity of the objects and…

In this paper we present weak lensing observations of the fields around 8 z~1 luminous radio sources. These data are searched for the lensing signatures of clusters that are either physically associated with the radio objects, or are…

We present results from a mini-survey of relatively high redshift (1.7 < z < 4) gravitationally lensed radio-quiet quasars observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory and with XMM-Newton. The lensing magnification effect allows us to search…

We present a study of the trends in luminosity, linear size, spectral index, and redshift of classical double radio sources from three complete samples selected at successively fainter low radio-frequency flux-limits. We have been able to…
