Magnetized plasmas traversed by linearly polarized light will reveal their presence by the frequency dependent Faraday rotation of the angle of polarization. The regions surrounding the black holes powering the jets in AGNs are expected to…
We present the analysis of Suzaku and XMM-Newton observations of the broad-line radio galaxy (BLRG) 3C 111. Its high energy emission shows variability, a harder continuum with respect to the radio quiet AGN population, and weak reflection…
We present observational evidence for the link between variability of the radio emission of the relativistic jet and optical continuum emission in the radio galaxy 3C 390.3 which indicates that the source of variable non-thermal continuum…
3C84 is a nearby radio source with a complex total intensity structure, showing linear polarisation and spectral patterns. A detailed investigation of the central engine region necessitates the use of VLBI above the hitherto available…
3C 84 is a nearby Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) that is unique in that is believed that we are observing near the true jet launching region - unlike blazars. The source is active in Gamma rays and has been detected with Fermi since its…

Kinetic jet power estimates based exclusively on observed monochromatic radio luminosities are highly uncertain due to confounding variables and a lack of knowledge about some aspects of the physics of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We…

The jets and lobes of nearby radio galaxies are ideal laboratories to explore the spectral and dynamical evolution of the radio-emitting plasma that emanates from active galactic nuclei. Here, we present a high-resolution radio continuum…

The class of Double-Double Radio Galaxies (DDRGs) relates to episodic jet outbursts. How various regions and components add to the total intensity in radio images is less well known. In this paper we synthesize synchrotron images for DDRGs…

The advent of global mm-band Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) in recent years has finally revealed the morphology of the base of the two most prominent nearby, bright, extragalactic radio jets in M\,87 and 3C\,84. The images are…
We interpret the linear polarization structures observed in extragalactic radio sources, even those oriented at oblique angles to the jet flows, to be due to oblique, relativistic shock fronts in the emitting regions. Many sources exhibit…
