We present results of a wideband high-resolution polarization study of Hydra A, one of the most luminous FR I radio galaxies known and amongst the most well-studied. The radio emission from this source displays extremely large Faraday…

We present 1420 MHz (lambda=21cm) observations of polarized emission from an area of 117 degree square in the Galactic plane in Cygnus, covering 82 < l < 95, -3.5 < b < +5.5, a complex region where the line of sight is directed nearly along…

We present sensitive, high dynamic range, Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) polarimetric observations of the cores of three powerful radio galaxies: 3C166, 3C236 and 3C390.3. Significant polarization is detected in one source (3C166) allowing…

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 present observations of linear polarisation in the southern radio lobe of Centaurus A, conducted during commissioning of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope. We used 16 antennas to observe a 30 square…

We report the detection of linearly polarized emission at 53 and 89 $\mu$m, from the radio-loud active galactic nucleus (AGN) Cygnus A using HAWC+ onboard SOFIA. We measure a highly polarized core of $11\pm3$% and $9\pm2$% with a position…

We present full-polarisation, broadband observations of the radio galaxy NGC 612 (PKS B0131-637) from 1.3 to 3.1 GHz using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The relatively large angular scale of the radio galaxy makes it a good…

Studying the interaction between AGN jets and lobes and their surrounding environment is important in order to understand how they transfer energy to their environment as well as determining the intrinsic physical properties of the sources…

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…

Deep radio observations at 5 and 8 GHz are presented of a complete sample of 11 radio galaxies with redshifts 0.85 < z < 1.5, selected from the 6C sample of Eales. The radio data, taken using the VLA in A, B and C array configurations,…
