Deep and high resolution radio observations of the Hubble Deep Field and flanking fields have shown the presence of two distant edge-darkened FR I radio galaxies, allowing for the first time an estimate of their high redshift space density.…

We investigate aspects of the cosmological evolution of FR II radio galaxies, focusing first on the abilities of models to match data for linear-sizes, radio powers, redshifts and spectral indices. Here we consider modifications to the…

Giant radio sources form the linear size extreme of the extra-galactic radio source population. Using the WENSS survey, we have selected a complete sample of these sources. We have investigated the properties of their radio structures. We…

We present hand-curated size measurements for a sample of 2,002 multiple-component radio AGNs in the Radio sources associated with Optical Galaxies and having Unresolved or Extended morphologies I (ROGUE I) catalog. The sources span total…

Context: Giant radio galaxies (with projected linear size of radio structure larger than 0.7 Mpc) are very rare and unusual objects. Only $\sim$5% of extended radio sources reach such sizes. Understanding of the processes responsible for…

We study the morphology of the radio emission of giant radio galaxies (GRGs), a rare type of active galaxies, in order to find new clues for the reasons of their large size. Using radio images from two sky surveys at 1.4 GHz we quantified…

The presence of two distant FR I radio galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field plus Flanking Fields indicates that the number density of these objects is about 10-50 times higher at z>1 than in the local universe. This is in strong contrast with…

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…

We investigate the nature of the continuum emission and stellar populations in the inner 1-3 kiloparsecs of a complete sample of twenty-four southern radio galaxies, and compare the results with a control sample of eighteen non-active…

We have formed a complete sample of 26 low redshift (z < 0.3) giant radio galaxies (GRGs) from the WENSS survey, selected at flux densities above 1 Jy at 325 MHz. We present 10.5-GHz observations with the 100-m Effelsberg telescope of 18…

[Abridged] Radio galaxies and quasars are among the largest and most powerful single objects known and are believed to have had a significant impact on the evolving Universe and its large scale structure. We explore the intrinsic and…

We present a comparison of the optical and radio properties of radio sources inside and outside the cores of rich clusters from combined samples of more than 380 radio sources. We also examine the nature of FR I and FR II host galaxies, and…

Due to their steep spectra, low-frequency observations of FR II radio galaxies potentially provide key insights in to the morphology, energetics and spectrum of these powerful radio sources. However, limitations imposed by the previous…

Current wide-area radio surveys are dominated by active galactic nuclei, yet many of these sources have no identified optical counterparts. Here we investigate whether one can constrain the nature and properties of these sources, using…

In order to explore how the FR I / FR II dichotomy is related to the nuclear properties of radio galaxies, we studied a complete sample of 26 nearby FR II radio galaxies using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images and compared them with a…

We investigate the role of environment on radio galaxy properties by constructing a sample of large ($\gtrsim100$~kpc), nearby ($z<0.3$) radio sources identified as part of the Radio Galaxy Zoo citizen science project. Our sample consists…

In our previous analysis we investigated the large-scale environment of two samples of radio galaxies (RGs) in the local Universe (i.e. with redshifts z<0.15), classified as FR I and FR II on the basis of their radio morphology. The…

We cross match the NVSS and FIRST surveys with three large photometric catalogues of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) to define radio-loud samples. These have median redshifts 0.35, 0.55 and 0.68 and, by matching rest-frame optical and radio…

Determining the energy spectrum of an electron population can give key insights into the underlying physics of a radio source; however, the lack of high resolution, broad-bandwidth observations has left many ambiguities in our understanding…

We present results of a study of large-scale neutral hydrogen (HI) gas in nearby radio galaxies. We find that the early-type host galaxies of different types of radio sources (compact, FR-I and FR-II) appear to contain fundamentally…
