We have investigated a frequency-dependent shift in the absolute position of the optically thick apparent origin of parsec-scale jets ("core shift" effect) to probe physical conditions in ultra-compact relativistic outflows in AGN. We used…

We have explored, in the general framework of the ``young source'' scenario, evolutionary models for GHz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) galaxies and quasars which reproduce the observed counts, redshift and peak frequency distributions of currently…

We present a three epoch survey for transient and variables in the extended Chandra Deep Field South at 5.5 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. A region covering $\sim$0.3 deg$^{2}$ was observed on timescales of 2.5 months and…

Polarimetry of the narrow-line radio galaxy PKS 0116+082 at the W.M. Keck telescope shows that it has high and variable optical polarization, presumably due to synchrotron radiation. It is not a BL Lac object because it has strong narrow…

We report on a search for steep spectrum radio sources within the 95% confidence error ellipses of the Fermi unassociated sources from the Large Array Telescope (LAT). Using existing catalogs and the newly released GMRT all-sky survey at…

We report the presence of a 106-day cycle in the radio variability of Sgr A* based on an analysis of data observed with the Very Large Array (VLA) over the past 20 years. The pulsed signal is most clearly seen at 1.3 cm with a ratio of…

Radio galaxies are linearly polarized -- an important property that allows us to infer the properties of the magnetic field of the source and its environment. However at low frequencies, Faraday rotation substantially depolarizes the…

We discuss the time-series behavior of 8 extragalactic 3FGL sources away from the Galactic plane (i.e., $\mid b\mid \geq 10^{\circ}$) whose uncertainty ellipse contains a single X-ray and one radio source. The analysis was done using the…

To fully exploit the scientific potential of the Fermi mission, we initiated the F-GAMMA program. Between 2007 and 2015 it was the prime provider of complementary multi-frequency monitoring in the radio regime. We quantify the radio…

Inhomogeneities can influence the polarisation emerging from a synchrotron source. However, it is shown that the frequency distribution of circular polarisation is only marginally affected, although its magnitude may change substantially.…
