We extend the study of the radio emission in early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the nearby Universe (recession velocity <7,500 km/s) as seen by the 150 MHz Low-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) observations and extend the sample from giant ETGs to massive…

To investigate the impact of radio jets during the formation epoch of their massive host galaxies, we present an analysis of two massive, log(M_stel/ M_sun)~10.6 and 11.3, compact radio galaxies at z=3.5, TNJ0205+2242 and TNJ0121+1320.…

The phase of radio galaxy evolution after the jets have switched off, often referred to as the remnant phase, is poorly understood and very few sources in this phase are known. In this work we present an extensive search for remnant radio…

In the framework of hierarchical structure formation AGN feedback shapes the galaxy luminosity function. Low luminosity, galaxy-scale double radio sources are ideal targets to investigate the interplay between AGN feedback and star…
