Ultra-steep spectrum (USS) radio sources are good tracers of powerful radio galaxies at $z > 2$. Identification of even a single bright radio galaxy at $z > 6$ can be used to detect redshifted 21cm absorption due to neutral hydrogen in the…

We have analysed VSOP (VLBI Space Observatory Programme) data at 5 GHz and ground-based VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) data at 15 GHz for the GHz-Peaked Spectrum (GPS) radio galaxy 2021+614. Its morphology is consistent with it…

We present a comprehensive analysis of the X-ray observations obtained from \xmm\, and \chandra\, for a sample of bona-fide Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) to investigate their X-ray emission properties. Ultimately, we obtain 32 effective…

Deep radio surveys are now producing catalogs with millions of radio sources. Radio sources can have complex morphologies that depend on both the production mechanisms and the local environment. Recently, an unusual class of circular radio…

We present a multi-wavelength study of three new $z\sim5.6$ quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) identified from dedicated spectroscopic observations. The three sources were selected as high-$z$ candidates based on their radio and…

We have observed the faintest sample of Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) and Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) sources to date, using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. We test the hypothesis that GPS and CSS sources are the youngest radio…

We study the impact of cluster environment on the morphology of a sample of 4304 extended radio galaxies from Radio Galaxy Zoo. A total of 87% of the sample lies within a projected 15 Mpc of an optically identified cluster. Brightest…

Compact Steep Spectrum, Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum and High Frequency Peak (CSS, GPS, HFP) sources are considered to be young radio sources but the details of their duty cycle are not well understood. In some cases they are thought to…

In this work, we study the optical properties of compact radio sources selected from the literature in order to determine the impact of the radio-jet in their circumnuclear environment. Our sample includes 58 Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS)…

Study of high-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs) can shed light on the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) evolution in massive elliptical galaxies. The vast majority of observed high-redshift AGNs are quasars, and there are very few radio galaxies…

A comprehensive search for variable and transient radio sources has been conducted using ~55,000 snapshot images of the FIRST survey. We present an analysis leading to the discovery of 1,627 variable and transient objects down to mJy levels…
