We present 21 new long-term variable radio sources found commensally in two years of weekly MeerKAT monitoring of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 339-4. The new sources vary on time scales of weeks to months and have a variety of light curve…

We present results from a large global VLBI(Very Long Baseline Interferometry) survey of compact radio sources at 86 GHz which started in October 2001. The main goal of the survey is to increase the total number of objects accessible for…

We present results from a large 86GHz global VLBI survey of compact radio sources. The main goal of the survey is to increase by factors of 3--5 the total number of objects accessible for future 3-mm VLBI imaging. The survey observations…

With the advent of powerful telescopes such as the Square Kilometer Array and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, we are entering an era of multiwavelength transient astronomy that will lead to a dramatic increase in data volume. Machine…

We present initial results from a follow-up of the 9C survey, complete to 25 mJy at 15 GHz, designed to assemble and investigate a sample of young radiosources. We have made radio continuum maps of 111 sources at frequencies spanning 1.4-43…

Radio surveys typically sample extragalactic sources in higher redshift regimes than is typical for optical surveys, resulting in many radio sources not having a detected optical counterpart. Over the next decade the Legacy Survey of Space…

The significance of tidal interactions in the evolution of the faint radio population (sub-mJy) is studied using a deep and homogeneous radio survey (1.4 GHz), covering an area of 3.14 deg$^2$ and complete to a flux density of 0.4 mJy.…

Variability is a common characteristic of magnetically active stars. Flaring variability is usually interpreted as the observable consequence of transient magnetic reconnection processes happening in the stellar outer atmosphere. Stellar…

In this paper we present the results of a survey for radio transients using data obtained from the Very Large Array archive. We have reduced, using a pipeline procedure, 5037 observations of the most common pointings - i.e. the calibrator…

In a pilot search for high-redshift radio QSOs, we have obtained spectra of 55 FIRST sources (S(1.4GHz) > 1 mJy) with very red (O-E > 3) starlike optical identifications. 10 of the candidates are QSOs with redshifts 3.6 < z < 4.4 (4…

The time variable far-IR/mm sky is largely unexplored. However, when PRIMA launches, next generation ground-based CMB experiments, including Simons Observatory and CMB-S4, will be operating. These will survey large areas of the sky for…

In order to study transient phenomena in the Universe, existing and forthcoming imaging surveys are covering wide areas of sky repeatedly over time, with a range of cadences, point spread functions, and depths. We describe here a framework…

Characterising spectral variability of radio sources is a technique that offers the ability to determine the astrophysics of the intervening media, source structure, emission and absorption processes. We present broadband (0.072--10 GHz)…

We are carrying out the GPPS survey by using the FAST, the most sensitive systematic pulsar survey in the Galactic plane. In addition to about 500 pulsars already discovered through normal periodical search, we report here the discovery of…

The radio sky is poorly sampled for rapidly varying transients because of the narrow field-of-view of most imaging radio telescopes at cm and shorter wavelengths. The emergence of sensitive long wavelength observations with intrinsically…

The Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS) is observing the entire sky north of $-40^{\circ}$ in the S-band ($2<\nu<4\,$GHz), with the highest angular resolution ($2''.5$) of any all-sky radio continuum survey to date. VLASS will cover its…

A complete sample of 27 radio galaxies was selected from the B2 and 3CR catalogs, in order to study their properties on the milliarcsecond scale. In the Appendix of this paper we present new radio images for 12 of them. Thanks to the…
