Radio emission is insensitive to dust obscuration, and the breadth of the radio luminosity function ensures that sources are detected over a wide range of redshifts at all radio flux densities. As a result, radio continuum observations are…

The apparent change in the composition of the parent optical objects of radio sources around 1 mJy (at 1.4 GHz) is now well established, although there is still some debate about the relative importance of classical radio galaxies and…

We present our very recent results on the sub-mJy radio source populations at 1.4 GHz based on the Extended Chandra Deep Field South VLA survey, which reaches ~ 30 {\mu}Jy, with details on their number counts, evolution, and luminosity…

The sub-mJy radio population is a mixture of active systems, that is star forming galaxies (SFGs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We study a sample of 883 radio sources detected at 1.4 GHz in a deep Very Large Array survey of the…

We have developed a semi-empirical simulation of the extragalactic radio continuum sky suitable for aiding the design of next generation radio interferometers such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The emphasis is on modelling the…

We analyse the 267 radio sources from our deep (flux limit of 42 microJy at the field center at 1.4 GHz) Chandra Deep Field South 1.4 and 5 GHz VLA survey. The radio population is studied by using a wealth of multi-wavelength information,…

Deep radio surveys show a population of very red counterparts of microjansky radio sources, which are unidentified to I = 25 in ground based images and I = 28.5 in the Hubble Deep Field. This population of optically faint radio sources,…

We use deep multi-colour (UBVRIJK) images mostly taken in the framework of the ESO Deep Public Survey (DPS) to optically identify and derive photometric redshifts for a complete sample of 131 radio sources with S>0.4 mJy, observed at both…

We review the statistical properties of the main populations of radio sources, as emerging from radio and millimeter sky surveys. Recent determinations of local luminosity functions are presented and compared with earlier estimates still in…

Despite the plethora of deep (sub-mJy) radio surveys there remains considerable doubt as to the exact nature of the galaxies contributing to the source counts. Current evidence suggests that starformation in moderately luminous 'normal'…

The change in the slope of the radio source counts suggests the emergence of a new population of radio galaxies at mJy and sub-mJy levels. Our understanding of such faint radio sources has advanced over the last decade through increasingly…

We present the evolutionary properties and luminosity functions of the radio sources belonging to the Chandra Deep Field South VLA survey, which reaches a flux density limit at 1.4 GHz of 43 microJy at the field center and redshift ~5, and…

Transient radio sources are necessarily compact and usually are the locations of explosive or dynamic events, therefore offering unique opportunities for probing fundamental physics and astrophysics. In addition, short-duration transients…

Source classifications, stellar masses and star formation rates are presented for 80,000 radio sources from the first data release of the Low Frequency Array Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) Deep Fields, which represents the widest deep radio…

Generation of science-ready data from processed data products is one of the major challenges in next-generation radio continuum surveys with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and its precursors, due to the expected data volume and the need…

Despite their relative sparseness, during the recent years it has become more and more clear that extragalactic radio sources (both AGN and star-forming galaxies) constitute an extremely interesting mix of populations, not only because of…

Radio observations allow us to identify a wide range of active galactic nuclei (AGN), which are galaxies that have gas accreting onto the supermassive black-hole at the centre. By observing these sources at multiple radio frequencies, a…

Until recently, VLBI targets have been drawn almost exclusively from the brightest and most compact radio sources in the sky, with typical flux densities well in excess of a few tens of mJy. These sources are predominantly identified with…

Deep surveys with the SKA1-MID array offer for the first time the opportunity to systematically explore the polarization properties of the microJy source population. Our knowledge of the polarized sky approaching these levels is still very…

Predictions of the number of faint polarised radio sources that can be detected by SKA pathfinder telescopes and the SKA depend on the polarisation properties of radio sources with a total flux density around 1 mJy. Total intensity source…
