The bright radio structure of the LINER elliptical galaxy NGC1052 is dominated by bi-symmetric jets on parsec scales. Features move outward on both sides of the core at v_{app}~0.26c. We have established the occurrence of free-free…

This is a paper on young jet material in a frustratingly complex environment. NGC 1052 has a compact, flat- or GHz-peaked-spectrum radio nucleus consisting of bi-symmetric jets, oriented close to the plane of the sky. Many features on both…

We present sensitive, high resolution Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of the central 0.3 arcsec of PKS 2322-123 at 1.3 and 5 GHz. These observations reveal straight and symmetric jets emerging from both sides of an inverted…

One of the most important problems in the study of AGN is understanding the detailed geometry, physics, and evolution of the central engines and their environments. The leading models involve an accretion disk and torus around a central…

(Abridged) We discuss multiple VLBI continuum and spectral line observations and WSRT spectroscopy of NGC 1052. Sub-parsec scale features move outward at approximately 0.26c in bi-symmetric jets, most likely oriented near the plane of the…

Using a combination of observations involving the VLA, MERLIN and global VLBI networks we have made a detailed study of the radio continuum and the neutral hydrogen (HI) kinematics and distribution within the central kiloparsec of the radio…

We detect the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen in absorption at a redshift of 0.673 towards the 1 Jy radio source 1504+377. The 1504+377 radio source is located toward the center of what appears to be an inclined disk galaxy at z = 0.674. The…

In the last several years, a number of compact extragalactic radio sources have been found to exhibit neutral hydrogen absorption at or near the systemic velocities of their host galaxies. Models proposed to explain this phenomenon involve…

We present WSRT observations of the neutral hydrogen in the nearby radio galaxy B2 0648+27. In emission, we detect a very large amount of HI (M_HI = 1.1 x 10^10 M_sun) that is distributed in a very extended disk, or ring-like structure, of…

We present global VLBI observations of the 21-cm transition of atomic hydrogen seen in absorption against the radio source J0855+5751. The foreground absorber (SDSS~J085519.05+575140.7) is a dwarf galaxy at $z$ = 0.026. As the background…

Sensitive high angular and linear resolution radio images of the 240-pc radio jet in NGC4151, imaged at linear resolutions of 0.3 to 2.6 pc using the VLBA and phased VLA at 21 cm, are presented and reveal for the first time a faint, highly…

A number of extragalactic radio sources which exhibit symmetric jets on parsec scales have now been found to have neutral hydrogen absorption at or near the systemic velocities of their host galaxies. Understanding the spatial distribution…

We report the detection of HI absorption towards the inner double of the double-double radio galaxy (DDRG) J1247+6723 with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The inner double is a Giga-hertz peaked spectrum (GPS) source with a…

We report on WSRT observations of HI and OH absorption at z=0.885 towards the radio lens PKS 1830-21, mm wave transitions of several molecular species have already been observed at this redshift. At mm wavelengths the source structure is…

Using long-slit optical spectra obtained with the 2-m telescope at IUCAA Girawali Observatory, we show that the radio source J094221.98+062335.2 (z=0.123) is associated with a galaxy pair undergoing a major merger. Its companion is a normal…

We report on atomic gas (HI) and molecular gas (as traced by CO(2-1)) redshifted absorption features toward the nuclear regions of the closest powerful radio galaxy, Centaurus A (NGC 5128). Our HI observations using the Very Long Baseline…

We present 21-cm HI line and 13-cm continuum observations, obtained with the Australian Long Baseline Array, of the Seyfert 2 galaxy IC 5063. This object appears to be one of the best examples of Seyfert galaxies where shocks produced by…

We present WSRT, VLA and VLBI observations of the HI absorption in the radio galaxy NGC 315. The main result is that two HI absorbing systems are detected against the central region. In addition to the known highly redshifted, very narrow…
