We address the nature of broad-lined radio galaxies, in particular their radio axis orientation, using new, matched resolution, dual frequency radio observations of a sample of twelve nearby broad-lined extragalactic 3C objects. Radio…
We present the results of the first survey and monitoring study of the linear polarisation properties of compact, flat-spectrum radio sources at millimetre/submillimetre wavelengths and discuss the implications of the inferred magnetic…
[Abridged] Physical and evolutionary properties of the sub-mJy radio population are not entirely known. The radio/optical analysis of the ATESP 5 GHz sample has revealed a significant class of compact flat/inverted radio-spectrum sources…
Previous spectral energy distribution modeling based on XMM-Newton X-ray observation of the classical double-lobed radio galaxy 3C 411 left the possibility open for the presence of a blazar-like core. We investigated this scenario by…
Aims: The knowledge of the properties of the youngest radio sources is very important in order to trace the earliest phase of the evolution of the radio emission. RXJ1459+3337, with its high turnover frequency (~25 GHz) provides a unique…
We present results of deep 150 MHz observations with the GMRT which show several extended radio sources with a range of morphologies. These sources have then further followed up at higher frequencies (610 and 1400 MHz) with the GMRT. GMRT…
A Suzaku observation of a giant radio galaxy, 3C 326, which has a physical size of about 2 Mpc, was conducted on 2008 January 19 -- 21. In addition to several X-ray sources, diffuse emission was significantly detected associated with its…
We have formed a new sample which consists of extended extragalactic radio sources without obvious active galactic nuclei (AGN) in them. Most of these sources appear to be dead double radio sources. These sources with steep spectra ($\alpha…
The large number of differences between high- and low-redshift radio galaxies have almost all been discovered by looking at the bright 3C sample of radio sources. This has the disadvantage that the strong correlation between radio…
A well-known calibrator source in radio astronomy, 3C 286 ($z=0.85$), is a compact steep-spectrum (CSS) radio source and spectroscopically classified as a narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy. It is also known for its damped Ly$\alpha$…
Many of the powerful radio galaxies observed at high redshift are very small, presumably because they are very young. A simple model, which treats the radio source as a bubble expanding into a radially stratified medium, is capable of…
In spring 2005 the blazar 3C 454.3 was observed in an unprecedented bright state from the near-IR to the hard X-ray frequencies. A mm outburst peaked in June-July 2005, and it was followed by a flux increase at high radio frequencies. In…
In this paper we present multifrequency VLA observations of the giant radio galaxy 3C 449, obtained with high sensitivity and resolution in total intensity and polarized flux. These images show the source morphology in great detail, in…
In order to find clues to the origin of the "winged" or "X-shaped" radio galaxies (XRGs) we investigate here the parent galaxies of a large sample of 106 XRGs for optical-radio axes alignment, interstellar medium, black hole mass, and…
The radio sky is poorly sampled for rapidly varying transients because of the narrow field-of-view of most imaging radio telescopes at cm and shorter wavelengths. The emergence of sensitive long wavelength observations with intrinsically…
We present a new complete sample of radio sources selected from the B2 and 3CR catalogues, with no bias respect to the jet velocity and orientation. Using preliminary data we investigate the parsec scale properties of radio sources with…

We present new, deep 8.5-GHz VLA observations of the nearby, low-luminosity radio galaxy 3C 296 at resolutions from 0.25 to 5.5 arcsec. These show the intensity and polarization structures of the twin radio jets in detail. We also derive…
