We present a catalogue of positions and correlated flux densities of 410 flat-spectrum, compact extragalactic radio sources, previously detected in the AT20G survey. The catalogue spans the declination range -90deg, -40deg and was…
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 multi-frequency VLA observations of the radio galaxy PKS 1246-410 at the center of the Centaurus Cluster, and compare these results to recent Chandra observations. The unusual radio morphology of PKS 1246-410 probably results…
Sub-arcsecond radio continuum observations of the Galactic center region at $\lambda$6 and 2cm reveal a 0.5$^{\prime\prime}$ diameter source with a shell-like morphology. This source is linearly polarized at a level of 16% at $\lambda$6cm…
We describe the results of a radio continuum survey of the central 4x1deg with the 100 m Green Bank Telescope (GBT) at wavelengths of 3.5, 6, 20, and 90 cm. The 3.5 and 6 cm surveys are the most sensitive and highest resolution single dish…
Based on our deep image of Sgr A using broadband data observed with the Jansky VLA at 6 cm, we present a new perspective of the radio bright zone at the Galactic center. We further show the radio detection of the X-ray Cannonball, a…
We present results from archival Very Large Array (VLA) data and new VLA observations to investigate the long term behavior of the circular polarization of M81*, the nuclear radio source in the nearby galaxy M81. We also used the…
We present the results of an Australia Telescope Compact Array 1.4 GHz spectropolarimetric aperture synthesis survey of 34 square degrees centred on Centaurus A - NGC 5128. A catalogue of 1005 extragalactic compact radio sources in the…
We present an analysis of the polarization of compact radio sources from six pointings of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) at 350 MHz with 35% coverage in lambda^2. After correcting for the off-axis instrumental polarization…
We present a detailed examination of the relationship between the magnetic field structures and the variations in Faraday Rotation across PKS1246-410, a radio source in the Centaurus cluster of galaxies, using data from Taylor, Fabian and…
We present Faraday rotation data for radio sources in the centers of the Abell clusters A400 and A2634. These clusters contain large (> 100 kpc), tailed radio sources, each attached to the central cD galaxy. These clusters do not have…
The low-frequency polarisation properties of radio sources are poorly studied, particularly in statistical samples. However, the new generation of low-frequency telescopes, such as the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA; the precursor for the…
The X-ray spectrum in a $1^{\circ}\times1^{\circ}$ region of the Galactic center observed with the ASCA satellite is examined in detail, following the first report by Koyama et al. (1996, AAA 65.155.208). The observed spectrum contains…
Radio continuum and radio recombination line observations of the inner degree of the galactic center reveal a rich collection of thermal and nonthermal radio structures: (a) A network of linear filaments that are oriented perpendicular to…
We present radio continuum observations of the spiral-shaped ionized feature (Sgr A West) within the inner pc of the Galactic center at three epochs spanning 1986 to 1995. The VLA A-configuration was used at $\lambda$2cm (resolution of…
The magnetic field within a few hundred parsecs of the center of the Galaxy is an essential component of any description of that region. The field has several pronounced observational manifestations: 1) morphological structures such as…
The mm to sub-mm spectrum of Sgr A* at the Galactic center, as well as its polarization characteristics, are consistent with the inner 10 Schwarzschild radii of a tight Keplerian emitting region of hot, magnetized, orbiting gas. This plasma…
We study the hard X-ray (20-100 keV) variability of the Galactic Center (GC) and of the nearby sources on the time scale of 1000 s. We find that 3 of the 6 hard X-ray sources detected by INTEGRAL within the central 1 degree of the Galaxy…
We review highlights of the results obtained from recent Galactic X-ray survey observations, in particular ASCA Galactic center and plane survey and our Chandra deep survey on the (l,b)=(28.5,0) region. Strong hard X-ray diffuse components…
Recent observations of the Galactic center in high-energy gamma-rays (above 0.1TeV) have opened up new ways to study this region, from understanding the emission source of these high-energy photons to constraining the environment in which…
