We have carried out observations at 18.5 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) of 250 out of the 258 Southern extragalactic sources in the complete 5 GHz 1 Jy sample by K\"uhr et al. (1981). In this paper we focus on the…
Studying the long-term radio variability (timescales of months to years) of blazars enables us to gain a better understanding of the physical structure of these objects on sub-parsec scales, and the physics of super massive black holes. In…
We report the results from pulsations and spectral analysis of a large number of observations of the HMXB pulsar IGR J18027--2016 with {\it Swift}--XRT, carried out at different orbital phases. In some orbital phases, as seen in different…
We have studied the linear polarization of 86 active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the observed frequency range 80-267 GHz (3.7-1.1mm in wavelength), corresponding to rest-frame frequencies 82-738 GHz, with the IRAM Plateau de Bure…
We study the polarisation properties of extragalactic sources at 95 and 150 GHz in the SPTpol 500 deg$^2$ survey. We estimate the polarised power by stacking maps at known source positions, and correct for noise bias by subtracting the mean…
High energy (67 keV) x-ray diffuse scattering measurements were performed on single crystals of Pb(Zn$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_3$-$x$PbTiO$_3$ (PZN-$x$PT). A novel technique was developed to map out the diffuse scattering distribution in all…
We consider the intensity pattern, generated by a monochromatic source, in a disordered cavity coupled to the environment. For weak coupling, and when the source frequency is tuned to a resonance, the intensity distribution is close to…
The propagation of radio waves from distant compact radio sources through turbulent interstellar plasma in our Galaxy causes these sources to twinkle, a phenomenon called interstellar scintillation. Such scintillations are a unique probe of…
We studied the turbulence spectrum of the local interstellar plasma in the direction of PSR J0437-4715, on the basis of our observations and those reported earlier by others. We combine these data to form a structure function for the…
(Abridged) This paper reports new Very Large Array (VLA) and Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of the extragalactic source B1849+005 at frequencies between 0.33 and 15 GHz and the re-analysis of archival VLA observations at 0.33,…

(Abridged) We investigate the flux density variability and changes in the parsec-scale radio structure of the flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 1510-089. This source was target of multi-epoch VLBI and Space-VLBI observations at 4.8, 8.4 and 22…

The Fermi source 2FGL~J0523.3$-$2530 has recently been identified as a candidate millisecond pulsar binary with an orbital period of 16.5 hrs. We have carried out detailed studies of the source's emission properties by analyzing data taken…
Spectral features absorbed against some radio quasars exhibit ~50mJy variations, with the lines varying both relative to the continuum and, when several lines are present, even relative to one another. We point out that such variability can…
The polarisation properties of the intrinsically small (< 20 kpc) radio sources are briefly discussed. At centimetric and decimetric wavelengths, substantial polarised emission is often detected in quasars and, at a lower level, in radio…
