Extended emission-line regions (EELRs), found around radio loud sources, are likely outflows driven by one form of powerful AGN feedback mechanism. We seek to constrain the three-dimensional gas properties and the outflow energetics of the…
From ROSAT imaging data we have detections and upper limits for a sample of 26 tailed radio sources in clusters of galaxies mostly from the sample of O'Dea \& Owen (1985). All sixteen of the detected sources are unresolved in the ROSAT PSPC…
We have discovered an X-ray jet with Chandra imaging of the z=1.187 radio-loud quasar PKS1127-145. In this paper we present the Chandra X-ray data, follow-up VLA observations, and optical imaging using the HST WFPC2. The X-ray jet contains…
The role of radio mode feedback in non radio-loud quasars needs to be explored in depth to determine its true importance. Its effects can be identified based on the evidence of interactions between the radio structures and the ambient…
It is currently accepted that intrinsically compact and bright radio sources characterized by a convex spectrum peaking at frequencies ranging from 100 MHz to a few GHz are young objects. Following the evolutionary models, these objects…
Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) and Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources are classes of compact, powerful, extragalactic objects. These sources are thought to be the earliest stages in the evolution of radio galaxies, capturing the ignition…
The recent detection of extended $\gamma$-ray emission around middle-aged pulsars is interpreted as inverse-Compton scattering of ambient photons by electron-positron pairs escaping the pulsar wind nebula, which are confined near the system…
Symmetric extragalactic radio sources exhibit a baffling array of features - the remarkable symmetry between the two lobes, the emission in the radio frequency range, well collimated jets, core regions emitting blue and ultraviolet light,…
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…
The archetypical, nearby (z=0.37) quasar 3C 48 is an unusual CSS radio source with excess far-IR emission, whose one-sided radio jet is aligned with the extended ionized emission and a putative second nucleus. Because of its high AGN…
We discuss the morphology and kinematics of five gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) sources that have been observed with the VLBA. We find a wide range of observed properties including core-jet structure, superluminal motion, variability,…
We present a study of molecular gas, traced via CO (3-2) from ALMA data, of four z< 0.2, `radio quiet', type 2 quasars (log [L(bol)/(erg/s)] = 45.3 - 46.2; log [L(1.4 GHz)/(W/Hz)] = 23.7 - 24.3). Targets were selected to have extended radio…
Broad absorption line quasars (BAL QSOs) belong to a class of objects not well-understood as yet. Their UV spectra show BALs in the blue wings of the UV resonance lines, owing to ionized gas with outflow velocities up to 0.2 c. They can…
We present the analysis of multi-wavelength observations of seven extragalactic radio sources, listed as unidentified in the Third Cambridge Revised Catalog (3CR). X-ray observations, performed during Chandra Cycle 21, were compared to VLA,…
Seyfert galaxies and quasars were first discovered through optical and radio techniques, but in recent years high-energy emission, that can penetrate central gas and dust, has become essentially the defining characteristic of an AGN. AGNs…
This paper studied the faint, diffuse extended X-ray emission associated with the radio lobes and the hot gas in the intracluster medium (ICM) environment for a sample of radio galaxies. We used shallow ($\sim 10$ ks) archival Chandra…
The dominant fraction of the extragalactic $\gamma$-ray sources are blazars, active galactic nuclei with jets inclined at a small angle to the line of sight. Apart from blazars, a few dozen narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1) and a number…
We present integral field spectroscopy of a small sample of radio-loud quasars at intermediate redshift (0.26<z<0.60), most of which are associated with large radio sources. All have oxygen line emission extended over tens of kiloparcsecs,…
The Spitzer GLIMPSE survey has revealed a number of "Extended Green Objects" (EGOs) which display extended emission at 4.5 micron. These EGOs are potential candidates for high mass protostellar outflows. We have used high resolution (< 1")…
