We examine the consistency of the unified scheme of FR II-type radio galaxies and quasars with their observed number and size distributions in the 3CRR sample. We separate the low-excitation galaxies from the high-excitation ones, as the…

In the currently popular orientation-based unified scheme, a radio galaxy appears as a quasar when its principal radio-axis happens to be oriented within a certain cone opening angle around the observer's line of sight. Due to geometrical…

A key argument in favor of orientation based unification schemes is the finding that among the most powerful 3CRR radio sources the (apparent) median linear size of quasars is smaller than that of radio galaxies, which supports the idea…

In order to test the unified scheme for luminous radio galaxies and quasars we observed 10 galaxy/quasar pairs from the 3CR catalogue with ISOPHOT at infrared wavelengths between 5 and 180 micron. Each pair was selected such that both the…

Unified schemes of radio sources, which account for different types of radio AGN in terms of anisotropic radio and optical emission, together with different orientations of the ejection axis to the line of sight, have been invoked for many…

Recent measurements of the galaxy clustering environments around intermediate-redshift radio sources have suggested a systematic environmental difference between radio galaxies and radio-loud quasars, in contradiction to the predictions of…

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…

The orientation-based unification model proposes that radio-loud quasars and radio galaxies are the same objects observed at different angles. A key prediction of this model is that the quasars are seen at smaller angles to the line of…

Radio structure parameters were measured from the highest quality radio maps available for a sample of 3CR radio galaxies in the redshift range 0.15 < z < 0.65. Combined with similar data for quasars in the same redshift range, these…

We present a study of the distribution of quasars and radio galaxies in the plane (viewing angle - redshift) in the framework of the evolutionary unified scheme (Vagnetti et al. 1991). Results are presented for some illustrative cases,…

In order to explore the nature of the 850 micron flux difference between powerful radio galaxies and steep radio-spectrum quasars at z=1.5 reported by Willott et al. (2002), we have observed 9 sources from their sample of 11 quasars at 1.25…

We have observed seven powerful FR2 radiogalaxies and seven quasars with the Spitzer IRS. Both samples are comparable in both, redshift range and isotropic 178 Hz luminosity. Both samples are found to have similar distributions in the…

Deep optical images have been gathered for a nearly complete sample of radio galaxies from the Revised 3rd Cambridge (3CR) Catalog in the redshift range 0.15 < z < 0.65. Total and nuclear magnitudes and colors have been extracted. The…

A new sample of very powerful radio galaxies is defined from the Molonglo Reference Catalogue, according to the criteria S (408 MHz) > 5 Jy, -30 < Dec < 10 degrees, |b| > 10 degrees. The sample is selected to have similar properties to the…

Using the Spitzer Space Telescope, we have obtained rest frame 9-16mu spectra of 11 quasars and 9 radio galaxies from the 3CRR catalog at redshifts 1.0<z<1.4. This complete flux-limited 178MHz-selected sample is unbiased with respect to…

Low-frequency radio selection finds radio-bright galaxies regardless of the amount of obscuration by gas and dust. We report \chandra\ observations of a complete 178~MHz-selected, and so orientation unbiased, sample of 44 $0.5<z<1$ 3CRR…

We have obtained multi-colour imaging of a representative, statistically complete sample of low-frequency selected (S_408MHz > 0.95Jy) radio loud quasars at intermediate (0.6 < z < 1.1) redshifts. These sources are found in a variety of…

In order to check for consistency with the radio-loud AGN unification scheme, ISOPHOT data obtained for two small sets of intermediate redshift steep-spectrum 3CR radio galaxies and quasars are being examined. Supplementary submillimeter…

We present the complete set of ISOPHOT observations of 3CR radio galaxies and quasars, which are contained in the ISO Data Archive, providing 75 mid- and far-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) between 5 and 200 micron. For 28…

The reason for the difference in the composite X-ray spectrum between radio-loud quasars (RLQs) and radio-quiet quasars (RQQs) is still unclear. To study this difference, we built a new composite X-ray spectrum of RLQs by using Chandra…
