There are observational indications that relativistic outflows in AGNs are accelerated over distances that far exceed the scale of the central engine. Examples include the radio galaxy NGC 6251, where knots in the radio jets were inferred…

The first low radio frequency (<1.4 GHz) detection of the outburst of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi is presented in this letter. Radio emission was detected at 0.61 GHz on day 20 with a flux density of ~48 mJy and at 0.325 GHz on day 38…

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are energetic, millisecond-duration radio pulses observed at extragalactic distances and whose origins are still a subject of heated debate. A fraction of the FRB population have shown repeating bursts, however it's…

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 a multi-frequency, multi-epoch campaign of Very Long Baseline Interferometry observations of the radio galaxy 1946+708 using the VLBA and a Global VLBI array. From these high-resolution observations we deduce the kinematic age…

We report MERLIN, VLA, OCRA-p, VLBA, Effelsberg and GMRT observations beginning 4.5 days after the discovery of RS Ophiuchi undergoing its 2006 recurrent nova outburst. Observations over the first 9 weeks are included, enabling us to follow…

We report observations of the four-image gravitational lens system Q2237+0305 with the VLA at 20 cm and 3.6 cm. The quasar was detected at both frequencies (\approx 0.7 mJy) with a flat spectrum. All four lensed images are clearly resolved…

The gravitational waves from the neutron star merger event GW170817 were accompanied by an unusually weak short GRB 170817A, by an optical/IR macronova/kilonova and by a long lasting radio to X-rays counterpart. While association of short…

We report the detection of fast (~ 1000 km/s), massive outflows of neutral gas observed -- using the WSRT -- as 21-cm HI absorption against the strong radio continuum of seven radio sources. The neutral outflows occur, in at least somes…

The prompt emission of low-luminosity gamma-ray bursts (llGRBs) indicates that these events originate from a relativistic shock breakout. In this case we can estimate, based on the properties of the prompt emission, the energy distribution…

In the hard X-ray spectra of some X-ray binaries line features at around 500 keV are detected. We interpret these as arising from pair annihilation in relativistic outflows leading to a significant Doppler shift of the lines' frequencies.…

According to hierarchical structure formation models, merging galaxies are expected to be seen in different stages of their coalescence. However, currently there are no straightforward observational methods neither to select nor to confirm…

Magnetars are a promising candidate for the origin of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). The detection of an extremely luminous radio burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154 on 2020 April 28 added credence to this hypothesis. We report on…

The galactic micro-quasar source GRS 1915+105 has been observed with the Indian X-ray Astronomy Experiment (IXAE) several times over a period extending from 1996 to 2000. The source has been observed in different luminosity states and…
