We have started a search for High Redshift Radio Galaxies (HZRGs) in an area covering 7 sr by selecting a sample of Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS) sources with a low flux density cut-off S(1400 MHz) > 10 mJy and a steep spectral index cut-off…

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…

With the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) we have observed seven powerful FR2 radio galaxies and seven quasars. Both samples, the galaxies and the quasars, are comparable in isotropic 178 MHz luminosity (10^26.5 W/Hz < P…

Chandra X-ray observations of the high redshift (z =1.532) radio-loud quasar 3C270.1 in 2008 February show the nucleus to have a power-law spectrum, Gamma = 1.66 +/- 0.08, typical of a radio-loud quasar, and a marginally-detected Fe Kalpha…

We report the identification of a cluster of galaxies around the high-redshift radio galaxy 3CR184 at z = 0.996. The identification is supported by an excess of galaxies observed in projection in I band images (both in ground-based and HST…

High redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs) provide unique targets for the study of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies and galaxy clusters at very high redshifts. We discuss how efficient HzRG samples are selected, the evidence for…

Near-infrared images of the luminous, high redshift (z=2.1108) radio loud quasar 4C+09.17 reveal a complex structure. The quasar (K=15.76 mag) is surrounded by three "companion" objects having 17.9< K < 20.2 mag at radii of 1.7" < r < 2.9",…

We present preliminary results from HST imaging of radio-loud quasar hosts, covering a ~x100 range in radio luminosity but in a narrow redshift range (0.5 to 0.65). The sample was selected from our new, spectroscopically complete 7C survey…

We present Herschel observations at 70, 160, 250, 350 and 500 micron of the environment of the radio galaxy 4C+41.17 at z = 3.792. About 65% of the extracted sources are securely identified with mid-IR sources observed with the Spitzer…

The radio-loud AGN unification model associates powerful radio galaxies with radio-loud quasars and blazars. In analogy with the radio-quiet scheme, the nuclear regions of objects showing only narrow emission lines in their optical spectrum…
