Faraday rotation of radio source polarization provides a measure of the integrated magnetic field along the observational lines of sight. We compare a new, large sample of Faraday rotation measures (RMs) of polarized extragalactic sources…

We report the first detections of circularly polarized emission at submillimeter wavelengths from the compact radio source and supermassive black hole candidate Sgr A* at a level of 1.2\pm0.3% at 1.3 mm wavelength (230 GHz) and 1.6\pm0.3%…

We have carried out observations of the newly-discovered magnetar in the direction of Sagittarius A* using the Australia Telescope Compact Array in four frequency bands from 4.5 to 20 GHz. Radio pulsations are clearly detected at all…

Motivated by the detection of a hardening in the gamma-ray spectrum of the radio galaxy Centaurus A, we have analysed ~10 years of Fermi-LAT observations of 26 radio galaxies to search for similar spectral features. We find that the…

We present the largest ever sample of radio polarization properties for $z>4$ sources, with 14 sources having significant polarization detections. Using wideband data from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, we obtained the rest-frame…

We investigate the statistical properties of the polarized emission of extragalactic radio sources and estimate their contribution to the power spectrum of polarization fluctuations in the microwave region. The basic ingredients of our…

A search for HI absorption has been made in 23 radio galaxies using the ATCA, the VLA and the WSRT. In five galaxies HI absorption was detected. We investigate how the detection rate is distributed among galaxies with different radio and…

We present the first section of a radio continuum and polarization survey at medium Galactic latitudes carried out with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope at 1.4 GHz. Four large fields have been observed, which all together cover an area of…

We describe recent results for Sgr A*, M81* and other low luminosity active galactic nuclei. We have conducted linear and circular polarimetry over a frequency range of 1.4 to 230 GHz and detected a variety of phenomena. The polarization…

Isolated Neutron Stars are known to be endowed with extreme magnetic fields, whose maximum intensity ranges from 10^12 to 10^15 G, which permeates their magnetospheres. Their surrounding environment is also strongly magnetised, especially…

Radio quasar sightlines with strong MgII absorption lines display statistically enhanced Faraday Rotation Measures (RM) indicating the presence of additional magneto-active plasma with respect to sightlines free of such absorption. In this…
