Galaxy colours are determined for two samples of 6C and 3CR radio sources at z~1, differing by a factor of ~6 in radio power. Corrections are made for emission line contamination and the presence of any nuclear point source, and the data…

The efficiency of mid-infrared selection methods for finding obscured AGN is investigated using data in the \chandra Deep Field North. It is shown that samples of AGN candidates compiled on the basis of mid-infrared colours only suffer…

We tested the effectiveness of radio selection to discover heavily obscured AGNs, particularly at high-z, and we measured their abundance for the first time from a radio perspective. We consider the radio sources detected in the J1030…

R- and I- band images with good seeing at the NOT of the hosts of a sample of 7C radio galaxies at z ~ 0.7 (with mean radio flux 20 times fainter than the 3C sample) show some evidence of radio-optical alignment. A quantitative analysis of…

We examine the consistency of HI properties with the unification scheme for radio galaxies and quasars, and any correlation with the symmetry parameters for a sample of CSS and GPS sources. In our sample, 15 out of 23 galaxies exhibit 21-cm…

We investigate the nature of low-luminosity radio-loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGN) selected from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) first data release (DR1). Using optical, mid-infrared, and radio data, we have conservatively…

Ultra-steep spectrum (USS) radio sources are good tracers of powerful radio galaxies at $z > 2$. Identification of even a single bright radio galaxy at $z > 6$ can be used to detect redshifted 21cm absorption due to neutral hydrogen in the…

We present deep, continuum images of eleven high-redshift (0.811 < z < 1.875) 3CR radio galaxies observed with NICMOS. Our images probe the rest-frame optical light where stars are expected to dominate the galaxy luminosity. The rest-frame…

We have studied the nuclei of 28 radio galaxies from the 3CR sample in the UV band. Unresolved nuclei (central compact cores, CCC) are observed in 10 of the 13 FR I, and in 5 of the 15 FR II. All sources that do not have a CCC in the…

X-ray observations provide a unique probe of the accretion disk corona of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). In this paper, we present a uniform \emph{Chandra} X-ray data analysis of a sample of 152 $z\geq4.5$ quasars. We firmly detect 46…

We report on the second round of Chandra observations of the 3C snapshot survey developed to observe the complete sample of 3C radio sources with z<0.3 for 8 ksec each. In the first paper, we illustrated the basic data reduction and…

We combine Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray data from our previous papers with new X-ray observations and with Spitzer mid-infrared data in order to study the nature of the nuclei of radio galaxies and radio-loud quasars with z<1.0 from the…

We present a NuSTAR, Chandra, and XMM--Newton survey of nine of the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). The unprecedented sensitivity of NuSTAR at energies above 10 keV enables spectral modeling with far better precision than…

We present the high redshift (3<z<5.3) 0.5-2 keV number counts and the 2-10 keV (rest frame) space density of X-ray selected AGNs detected in the Chandra COSMOS survey. The sample comprises 81 X-ray detected sources with available…

This paper presents the results of a high resolution radio imaging survey of 83 of the 118 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) in the IRAS 1 Jy ULIRG sample. We have observed these ULIRGs at 15GHz with the Very Large Array (VLA). We…

Previous surveys for HI 21-cm absorption in z > 0.1 radio galaxies and quasars yield a 40% detection rate, which is attributed to unified schemes of active galactic nuclei (AGN). In this paradigm absorption is only witnessed in (close to)…
