Archival Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images were used to search for optical emission associated with the radio jets of a number of luminous quasars. From this search, we report new optical hotspot detections in the well-known blazar…

Context: New generation low-frequency telescopes are exploring a new parameter space in terms of depth and resolution. The data taken with these interferometers, for example with the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR), are often calibrated in a…

This paper contains an analysis of short Chandra observations of 19 3C sources with redshifts between 0.3 and 0.5 not previously observed in the X-rays. This sample is part of a project to obtain Chandra data for all of the extragalactic…

Compact, steep-spectrum radio sources are key tracers of exotic astrophysical objects such as pulsars and high-redshift radio galaxies. All-sky radio surveys at different frequencies, like the TIFR-GMRT Sky Survey (TGSS) and the NRAO VLA…

Continuing our program of spectroscopic observations of ICRF sources, we present redshifts for 120 quasars and radio galaxies. Data were obtained with five telescopes: the 3.58m ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT), the two 8.2m Gemini…

We discuss color selection of rare objects in a wide-field, multiband survey spanning from the optical to the mid-infrared. Simple color criteria simultaneously identify and distinguish two of the most sought after astrophysical sources:…

The radio spectral index is a powerful probe for classifying cosmic radio sources and understanding the origin of the radio emission. Combining data at 147 MHz and 1.4 GHz from the TIFR GMRT Sky Survey (TGSS) and the NRAO VLA Sky Survey…

We present results of EVN observations of eleven GHz-Peaked-Spectrum (GPS) radio sources at 2.3/8.4 GHz. These sources are from the classical ''bright'' GPS source samples with peak flux densities $>$ 0.2 Jy and spectral indices $\alpha <…

As a pilot study for the first all-sky radio survey at short wavelengths, we have observed 1216 sq. deg. of the southern sky at 18GHz (16mm) using a novel wide-band (3.4GHz bandwidth) analogue correlator on one baseline of the Australia…

Analysis of Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope low frequency data for an X-shaped source, 3C 223.1 has revealed an unusual result. The radio morphologies of it at 240 and 610 MHz show well defined X-shape with a pair of active jets along the…

We present a catalog of 246 radio sources found in the central 1 degree of the COSMOS field at 1.4GHz. The VLA pilot project data have a resolution of 1.9"x1.6" and an rms noise limit of ~25-100uJy/beam covering 0.837 sqrdeg. About 20 radio…

The presence of large-scale magnetic fields and ultra-relativistic electrons in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) is confirmed through the detection of diffuse radio synchrotron sources, so-called radio halos and relics. Due to their…

Low-frequency radio arrays are opening a new window for the study of the sky, both to study new phenomena and to better characterize known source classes. Being flat-spectrum sources, blazars are so far poorly studied at low radio…
