We report the first detections of associated H{\sc i} 21\,cm absorption in Gigahertz-peaked-spectrum (GPS) sources at high redshifts, $z > 1$, using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). Our GMRT search for associated H{\sc i} 21\,cm…

We present an analysis of four complete samples of radio-loud AGN (3CRR, 2Jy, 6CE and 7CE) using near- and mid-IR data taken by the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The combined sample consists of 79 quasars and 273 radio…

Low luminosity radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are generally found in massive red elliptical galaxies, where they are thought to be powered through gas accretion from their surrounding hot halos in a radiatively inefficient manner.…

We report the discovery of two remarkable high-opacity HI 21cm absorbers against low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs), at $z = 1.2166$ towards J0229+0044 and at $z=1.1630$ towards J0229+0053. The absorbers were detected in an…

Different physical processes in galaxy evolution, such as galaxy mergers that lead to coalescence of dual Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and outflows emanating from the narrow line region, can leave their imprint on the optical spectra of AGN…
