Thanks to deep UV observations with GALEX and Swift, diffuse UV haloes have recently been discovered around galaxies. Based on UV-optical colours, it has been advocated that the UV haloes around spiral galaxies are due to UV radiation…

We present observations of radio recombination lines from the starburst galaxy Arp 220 at 1.4, 8.1, 84, 96 and 207 GHz (sensitive upper limit for the 1.4 GHz line and firm detections at the other frequencies), and the radio continuum…

Due to its brightness and proximity, the radio galaxy 3C 84 (optical counterpart NGC 1275 in the Perseus cluster) has been the target of extensive studies investigating the central parsec region of its active galactic nucleus. In 2003, its…

We have obtained redshifts and infrared images for a sample of faint B2/6C radio sources whose fluxes are about six times fainter than those of sources in the bright 3C sample. We now have unambiguous redshifts for 90% of the sources,…

We report the detection of a highly collimated linear emission-line structure in the spiral galaxy NGC\,232 through the use of integral field spectroscopy data from the All-weather MUse Supernova Integral field Nearby Galaxies (AMUSING)…

We present 19 nearby (z<0.3) 3CR radio galaxies imaged at low- and high-excitation as part of a Cycle 15 Hubble Space Telescope snapshot survey with the Advanced Camera for Surveys. These images consist of exposures of the H-alpha (6563…

We present deep optical imaging of the z=4.1 radio galaxy TN J1338--1942 obtained using the ACS on-board HST. The radio galaxy is known to reside within a large galaxy overdensity (both in physical extent and density contrast). There is…

By summing a large number of ROSAT High Resolution Imager (HRI) observations of the variable radio galaxy 3C 390.3, we demonstrate that the X-ray emission associated with the northern radio lobe (reported by Prieto 1997) can be identified…

Powerful radio galaxies often display enhanced optical/UV continuum emission and extended emission line regions, elongated and aligned with the radio jet axis. The expansion of the radio source strongly affects the gas clouds in the…

We present high-spatial resolution 21-cm HI VLA observations of the radio galaxy 3C305 (z=0.041). These new high-resolution data show that the ~1000 km/s broad HI absorption, earlier detected in low-resolution WSRT observations, is…

We present results on the spectroscopic study of the ionized gas in the high redshift radio galaxy USS0828+193 at z=2.57. Thanks to the high S/N of the emission lines in the Keck spectrum, we have been able to perform a detailed kinematic…

We present low frequency observations at $315$ and $745$ MHz from the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) of the edge-on, nearby galaxy NGC $4631$. We compare the observed surface brightness profiles along the minor axis of the…

We present Australia Compact Telescope Array (ATCA) 21-cm observations of the nearby low-excitation radio galaxy (LERG) NGC 3100. This is the brightest galaxy of a loose group and hosts a young ($\sim 2$ Myr) radio source. The ATCA…

A series of new radio-continuum (lambda=20 cm) mosaic images focused on the NGC 300 galactic system were produced using archived observational data from the VLA and/or ATCA. These new images are both very sensitive (rms=60 microJy) and…

Unresolved nuclear sources are detected by the Hubble Space Telescope in the great majority of a complete sample of 33 FR I radio galaxies belonging to the 3CR catalogue. The optical flux of these Central Compact Cores (CCC) shows a…

Low-frequency radio observations of galaxy clusters are the key to detecting the diffuse extended emission associated with them. The presence and properties of such radio sources in galaxy clusters reveal the existence of magnetic fields on…

We present a homogeneous and 92 % complete dataset of optical nuclear spectra for the 113 3CR radio sources with redshifts < 0.3, obtained with the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. For these sources we could obtain uniform and uninterrupted…

High-resolution AstroSat-UltraViolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) observations revealed a knot of UV emission, $\sim 1.7$ kpc away from the centre of NGC 315, a nearby elliptical galaxy hosting a giant (Mpc scale) radio source with a jet. We…

We report the detection of optical and ultraviolet emission from the kiloparsec scale jet of the well-known quasar 3C~279. A bright knot, discovered in archival V and U band {\it Hubble Space Telescope} Faint Object Camera images, is…

We attempt a slingshot model interpretation of the unusual association of some 1&1/3 dozen nonstellar galaxian objects around the parent optical galaxy of the giant radio galaxy DA 240 (= 0748.6+55.8 (J2000)). Similar interpretation may be…
