It has been previously determined that there is a highly significant correlation between the spectral index from 10 GHz to 1350 $\AA$ and the amount of excess luminosity in the red wing of quasar CIV $\lambda$1549 broad emission lines…

3C318, a radio-loud quasar at z=1.574, is a subgalactic-sized radio source, and a good test-bed for the interplay between black hole and galaxy growth in the high-z Universe. Based on its IRAS, ISO, and SCUBA detections, it has long been…

We attempt a slingshot model interpretation of the unusual association of some 1&1/3 dozen nonstellar galaxian objects around the parent optical galaxy of the giant radio galaxy DA 240 (= 0748.6+55.8 (J2000)). Similar interpretation may be…

New data from BESIII and LHCb show the existence of resonances with strangeness filling multiplets of the broken SU(3)_f symmetry, with the pattern predicted by the quark model. This is the case of the newly discovered Z_{cs} (3985) and…

3C403 is a well-known FRII radio galaxy with jets extending up to kiloparsec scales. We report its identification as the second most significant candidate among more than 150 sources examined using the 15-year neutrino dataset from the…

I present four-frequency radio observations of the wide-angle tail radio galaxy 3C130. By a technique of simulated observations, I assess the systematic errors in the data due to the varying uv plane coverage in the different observations…

Previous spectral energy distribution modeling based on XMM-Newton X-ray observation of the classical double-lobed radio galaxy 3C 411 left the possibility open for the presence of a blazar-like core. We investigated this scenario by…

We investigate the radio emitting structures of radio-quiet active galactic nuclei with an emphasis on radio-quiet quasars to study their connection to Seyfert galaxies. We present and analyse high-sensitivity VLA radio continuum images of…

This article gives a brief historical introduction and reviews our current understanding of jets in radio galaxies and quasars from an observational perspective, with an emphasis on observations at radio wavelengths. Recent results on the…

We present the first high-resolution 230-470 MHz map of the Perseus cluster obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. The high dynamic range and resolution achieved has allowed the identification of previously-unknown structures in…

Observations with the Wide-Field/Planetary Camera-2 of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) are presented for three radio-loud quasars: 3C 48 (z=0.367), B2 1425+267 (z=0.366), and 3C 345 (z=0.594). All three quasars have luminous (~4 L^*)…

We report the discovery of a bright quasar (E=15.8, z=0.868) associated with the flat spectrum radio source NVSS J235953-124148. This quasar we designate QSO 2359-1241 possesses a rare combination of extreme properties that make it of…

Understanding the launching, acceleration, and collimation of jets powered by active galactic nuclei remains an outstanding problem in relativistic astrophysics. This is partly because observational tests of jet formation models suffer from…

We present the results of new observations of the enigmatic radio source B1144+352 with the WSRT at 1.4 GHz. The WENSS and NVSS surveys have revealed faint extended radio structures on Mpc-scales. We have investigated these large-scale…

Boosted resonances is a highly probable and enthusiastic scenario in any process probing the electroweak scale. Such objects when decaying into jets can easily blend with the cornucopia of jets from hard relative light QCD states. We review…

Context. 3C 454.3 is a very active flat spectrum radio quasar (blazar) that has undergone a recent outburst in all observed bands, including the optical. Aims. In this work we explore the short-term optical variability of 3C 454.3 during…

We present the results of a multi-epoch radio monitoring campaign measuring the milliarcsecond structure of the jet in the radio-quiet quasar PG1407+263. This is the highest-sensitivity, highest-resolution multi-year study of a distant…

We review the observed properties of the bright quasar 3C~273 and discuss the implications of these observations for the emission processes and in view of gaining a more global understanding of the object. Continuum and line emission are…

We have discovered a remarkable quasar, FIRST J101614.3+520916, whose optical spectrum shows unambiguous broad absorption features while its double-lobed radio morphology and luminosity clearly indicate a classic Fanaroff-Riley Type II…

We present arc-second-resolution data in the radio, IR, optical and X-ray for 4C+19.44 (=PKS 1354+195), the longest and straightest quasar jet with deep X-ray observations. We report results from radio images with half to one arc-second…
