We determine the slope of the near infrared extinction power law (A$_{\lambda} \propto \lambda^{-\alpha}$) for 8 regions of the Galaxy between l$\sim27^{\circ}$ and $\sim100^{\circ}$. UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey data are compared, in…
Recent results based on the analysis of radio galaxies and their hot X-ray emitting atmospheres suggest that non-radiating particles dominate the energy budget in the lobes of FRI radio galaxies, in some cases by a factor of more than 1000,…
Near-infrared spectroscopy (rest-frame 3700-6800 Angstroms) of eight high redshift powerful radio galaxies (HzPRGs) at z = 2.2-2.6 is presented. Strong forbidden lines and H-alpha emission were detected in all sources; the data show…
Although radio observations have been historically seen as less valuable than optical observations, today's broadband radio spectra of peaked spectrum sources reveal detailed physics from within the inner region of the galaxy, on spatial…
The AGN NGC 2110 presents a peculiar case among the Seyfert 2 galaxies, as it displays also features of radio-loud objects and is classified as FR-I radio galaxy. Here we analyse simultaneous INTEGRAL and Swift data taken in 2008 and 2009.…
I outline a quantitative method for characterizing galaxies both by photometric `form' and indices of spectral-type, applicable to both nearby and distant galaxies. Such a characterization provides insight on galaxy evolution because there…
We have made a new calculation of the cosmic ray electron spectrum using an anomalous diffusion model to describe the propagation of electrons in the Galaxy. The parameters defining the anomalous diffusion have been recently determined from…
Physical sizes of extended radio galaxies can be employed as a cosmological "standard ruler", using a previously developed method. Eleven new radio galaxies are added to our previous sample of nineteen sources, forming a sample of thirty…
Images from recent radio surveys were used to determine the radio position angles for over 2000 extended radio galaxies with host galaxies brighter than m$_{r}\sim$18 mag. For 1509 of these their optical axis ratios were obtained, and for a…
We have exploited LOFAR deep observations of the Lockman Hole field at 150 MHz to investigate the relation between the radio luminosity of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and their star formation rates (SFRs), as well as its dependence on…
The All-wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey (AEGIS) team presents broad-band spectral energy distributions (SEDs), from X-ray to radio wavelengths, for 71 galaxies spanning the redshift range 0.55-1.16 (<z>~0.7). Galaxies…
The time evolution of giant lobe-dominated radio galaxies (with projected linear size D>1 Mpc if H_{0}=50 km/s/Mpc and q_{0}=0.5 is analysed on the basis of dynamical evolution of the entire FRII-type population. Two basic physical…
The mid-infrared spectra (2.5 to 5 and 5.7 to 11.6 mu) obtained by ISO-PHOT reveal the interstellar medium emission from galaxies powered by star formation to be strongly dominated by the aromatic features at 6.2, 7.7, 8.6 and 11.3 mu.…
We present images of the jets in the nearby radio galaxy NGC 315 made with the VLA at five frequencies between 1.365 and 5 GHz with resolutions between 1.5 and 45 arcsec FWHM. Within 15 arcsec of the nucleus, the spectral index of the jets…
We present near-infrared spectroscopy of H-alpha emission lines in a sample of 16 star-forming galaxies at redshifts 2.0<z<2.6. Our targets are drawn from a large sample of galaxies photometrically selected and spectroscopically confirmed…
We present a comprehensive re-evaluation of pulsar radio spectra using the largest curated dataset of calibrated flux densities to date, comprising 897 pulsars, and employing a robust Bayesian framework for model comparison alongside…
We analyse emission-line properties of the bj-selected Stromlo-APM spectra (<z> = 0.05). Because this is a representative sample, we can study the global spectral properties of the local galaxy population. We classify spectra according to…
The CoNFIG (Combined NVSS-FIRST Galaxies) sample is a new sample of 274 bright radio sources at 1.4 GHz. It was defined by selecting all sources with S_1.4GHz > 1.3 Jy from the NRAO-VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) in the North field of the Faint…
(abridged) We use the 1.4 GHz VIMOS-VLA Deep Survey and the optical VVDS and the CFHT-LS to compare the properties of radio loud galaxies with respect to the whole population of optical galaxies. The availability of multiband photometry and…
We have started a search for High Redshift Radio Galaxies (HZRGs) in an area covering 7 sr by selecting a sample of Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS) sources with a low flux density cut-off S(1400 MHz) > 10 mJy and a steep spectral index cut-off…
