We present an analysis of the spectral properties of the extragalactic radio sources in the nearly-complete VSA sample at 33GHz. Data from different surveys are used to study source spectra between 1.4 and 33GHz. We find that, in general,…

We present radio intensity and polarisation profiles of 28 $\gamma$-ray-detected pulsars with the aim of putting constraints on their viewing geometries using data from the Parkes telescope. Constraints are formed both from the…

We report results from a deep polarization imaging of the nearby radio galaxy 3C$\,$84 (NGC$\,$1275). The source was observed with the Global Millimeter VLBI Array (GMVA) at 86$\,$GHz at an ultra-high angular resolution of $50\mu$as…

We report on full-polarization radio observations of the Perseus cluster (Abell 426) using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) at wavelengths from 81-95 cm. We have employed a novel technique, Rotation Measure synthesis…

We report on the polarization properties of two fast radio bursts (FRBs): 151230 and 160102 discovered in the SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts (SUPERB) at the Parkes radio telescope. FRB 151230 is observed to be 6 $\pm$ 11%…

We present a 74 MHz survey of a 165 square degree region located near the north galactic pole. This survey has an unprecedented combination of both resolution (25'' FWHM) and sensitivity (RMS noise as low as 24 mJy/beam). We detect 949…
