We report on multi-frequency linear polarization monitoring of 15 active galactic nuclei containing highly relativistic jets with apparent speeds from $\sim$4 $c$ to $>40c$. The measurements were obtained at optical, 1 mm, and 3 mm…

We used data from the \wmap satellite at 23, 33 and 41 GHz to study the diffuse polarised emission over the entire sky. The emission originates mostly from filamentary structures with well-ordered magnetic fields. Some of these structures…

A new sample of candidate Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) sources that are much weaker than the CSS source prototypes has been selected from the VLA FIRST catalogue. MERLIN `snapshot' observations of the sources at 5 GHz indicate that six of…

We present sensitive ($\sim$9 $\mu$Jy), sub-arcsecond resolution radio continuum observations at 9.0 GHz (3.3 cm) and 14.0 GHz (2.1 cm) obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) toward the nearby Coronet Cluster in Corona…

This paper introduces a new Planck Catalog of Polarized and Variable Compact Sources (PCCS-PV) comprising 153 sources, the majority of which are extragalactic. The data include both the total flux density and linear polarization measured by…
