We have identified a new supernova remnant (SNR), G51.04+0.07 (G51.04), using observations at 74 MHz from the VLA Low-Frequency Sky Survey Redux. Earlier, higher frequency radio continuum, recombination line, and infrared data had correctly…
The Origem Loop in the Galactic anticentre was discovered in 1970s and suggested to be a large supernova remnant. It was argued later to be a chance superposition of unrelated radio sources. We attempt to understand the properties of the…
We have mapped 16 edge-on galaxies at 20 cm using the VLA. For 5 galaxies, we could form spectral index, energy and magnetic field maps. We find that all but one galaxy show evidence for non-thermal high latitude radio continuum emission,…
We survey four nearby irregular galaxies for radio supernova remnants (SNRs) using deep (1 sigma ~ 20 microJy), high resolution (~20 pc) VLA continuum data at 20, 6, and 3.6 cm. We identify discrete sources in these galaxies and use radio…
We have formed a new sample which consists of extended extragalactic radio sources without obvious active galactic nuclei (AGN) in them. Most of these sources appear to be dead double radio sources. These sources with steep spectra ($\alpha…
In the last three decades, about 50 radio supernovae have been detected as a result of targeted searches of optically discovered supernovae in the local universe. Despite this relatively small number some diversity among them has already…
We present the discovery of two extended, low surface brightness radio continuum sources, each consisting of a near-circular body and an extended tail of emission, nicknamed Stingray 1 (ASKAP J0129-5350) and Stingray 2 (ASKAP J0245-5642).…
An analysis of the cluster environments around distant radio galaxies is presented, in particular the results from new NTT deep optical-IR imaging of the fields of radio sources at z ~ 1.6. A net overdensity of K-band galaxies is found,…
From a careful visual scrutiny of the radio structures of a well-defined sample of 2428 sources in the LoTSS DR2 survey made at 144 MHz with a 6" beam, we have selected a subset of 25 (i.e., 1%) sources showing highly unusual radio…
Non-thermal radio emission is detected in the region of the gamma-ray source FHES J1723.5-0501. The emission has an approximately circular shape 0.8 degrees in diameter. The observations confirm its nature as a new supernova remnant,…
LOFAR observations at 144 MHz have revealed large-scale radio sources in the unrelaxed galaxy cluster Abell 1132. The cluster hosts diffuse radio emission on scales of $\sim$650 kpc near the cluster center and a head-tail (HT) radio galaxy,…
A sample of 129 unresolved radio sources with ultrahigh linear polarization (>30 per cent) has been selected from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey. Such high average linear polarization is unusual in extragalactic sources. Higher resolution…
We report on new VLA radio observations performed at 1.4 GHz and 4.8 GHz with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution (~1 arcsec) of the cool core cluster A 2626, which is known to possess a radio mini-halo at its center. The most…
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…
The physical nature and origins of the newly discovered class of Odd Radio Circles (ORCs) remain unclear. We investigate a model whereby ORCs are synchrotron-emitting vortex rings formed by the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) when a…
Winged radio sources are a small sub-class of extragalactic radio sources which display a pair of low surface brightness radio lobes, known as `wings' aligned at a certain angle with the primary jets. Depending on the location of wings,…
We have previously presented the results of a 325 MHz radio survey of M31, conducted with the A-configuration of the Very Large Array. In this survey, a total of 405 radio sources between <6" and 170" in extent were mapped with a resolution…
The high-frequency radio sky is bursting with synchrotron transients from massive stellar explosions and accretion events, but the low-frequency radio sky has so far been quiet beyond the Galactic pulsar population and the long-term…
The unique morphology of head-tail (HT) radio galaxies suggests that radio jets and their intra-cluster medium interact strongly. We conducted a systematic search for HT radio galaxies using the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey first data release…
We have discovered new diffuse radio sources likely associated with groups of galaxies at low redshift (0.01-0.04) and without apparent AGN by using the WENSS and WISH catalogs to perform an unbiased survey. These sources resemble the radio…
