We present results from a comprehensive imaging survey of 70 radio galaxies at redshifts 1<z<5.2 using all three cameras onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. The resulting spectral energy distributions unambiguously show a stellar…
Further imaging observations of a sample of radio sources in the North Ecliptic Cap are presented and a number of new identifications are made. Using redshifts from spectroscopic data presented in a companion paper (Lacy et al.\ 1999b), the…
The study of high-$z$ radio galaxies (HZRGs) has matured considerably during the last decade. Large numbers of $z>2$ radio galaxies have been found and have been studied in considerable detail. In this review we will address the importance…
A new sample of very powerful radio galaxies is defined from the Molonglo Reference Catalogue, according to the criteria S (408 MHz) > 5 Jy, -30 < Dec < 10 degrees, |b| > 10 degrees. The sample is selected to have similar properties to the…
We have exploited the new, deep, near-infrared UltraVISTA imaging of the COSMOS field, in tandem with deep optical and mid-infrared imaging, to conduct a new search for luminous galaxies at redshifts z ~ 7. The unique multi-wavelength…
We present unequivocal evidence for a huge (~80 x 100 x 100 Mpc^3) super-structure at redshift z=0.27 in the 3-D distribution of radio galaxies from the TONS08 sample, confirming tentative evidence for such a structure from the 7C redshift…
We present the results of longslit and multiaperture spectroscopy of faint galaxies in the field of the z=1.049 quasar 3C212. We show that an apparently aligned optical feature beyond the NW radio lobe has a redshift z=0.928, and a…
We report on deep Chandra X-ray Telescope imaging observations of 4C 63.20, one of the few known radio galaxies at z>3.5. The X-ray counterpart is resolved into a core plus two off-nuclear sources that (combined) account for close to 30% of…
We present newly acquired images of the near-infrared counterpart of 3CR radio sources. All the sources were selected to have a redshift of less than 0.3 to allow us to obtain the highest spatial resolution. The observations were carried…
The importance of studying old elliptical galaxies at redshift z ~ 1.5 is reviewed, considering both what can be learned by extending studies of the evolution of cluster galaxy scaling relations to earlier cosmic epochs, and the age-dating…
We present a comparison between the published optical, IR and CO spectroscopic redshifts of 86 (sub-)mm galaxies and their photometric redshifts as derived from long-wavelength radio-mm-FIR photometric data. The redshift accuracy measured…
We have observed the environments of a population of 33 heavily dust obscured, ultra-luminous, high-redshift galaxies, selected using WISE and NVSS at $z>$1.3 with the Infra-Red Array Camera on the $Spitzer$ Space Telescope over…
We present a sample of 40 Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS, $\alpha \leq -1.3$, $S_{\nu}\propto \nu^{\alpha}$) radio sources selected from the Westerbork in the Southern Hemisphere (WISH) catalog. The USS sources have been imaged in K--band at the…
Hubble Space Telescope images are presented of a sample of 28 3CR radio galaxies with redshifts in the range 0.6 < z < 1.8, together with maps at comparable angular resolution of their radio structure, taken using the Very Large Array.…
We explore a technique for identifying the highest redshift (z>4) sources in Herschel/SPIRE and BLAST submillimeter surveys by localizing the position of the far-infrared dust peak. Just as Spitzer/IRAC was used to identify stellar `bump'…
The correlation between the far-infrared (FIR) and radio emission is well established for nearby star forming galaxies. Many applications, in particular the radio-to-submm spectral index redshift indicator, tacitly assume that the relation…
We describe observations of a galaxy in the field of the $z=2.483$ radio galaxy 4C 23.56, photometrically selected to have a spectral-energy distribution consistent with an old stellar population at the redshift of the radio galaxy.…
We used the Near Infrared Camera on Keck I to obtain Ks-band images of four candidate high-redshift radio galaxies selected using optical and radio data in the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey in Bootes. Our targets have 1.4 GHz radio flux…

Three-millimeter-wavelength spectra of a number of nearby galaxies have been obtained at the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory (FCRAO) using a new, very broadband receiver. This instrument, which we call the Redshift Search Receiver,…
