We will present the results of a NICMOS H-band imaging survey of a small sample of z ~ 2 to 3 radio-quiet quasars. We have resolved extension in at least 4 of 5 objects and find evidence for a wide range in the morphologies and magnitudes…
A wide range of phenomena, from explosive transients to active galactic nuclei, exhibit variability at radio wavelengths on timescales of a few years. Characterizing the rate and scale of variability in the radio sky can provide keen…
Based on images from the FIRST survey of the radio sky at 1.4 GHz, the positions of $\sim$5200 hotspots in $\sim$2870 radio galaxies and quasars were compiled, and linear sizes and radio luminosities were derived from the hosts redshifts.…
Previous surveys for HI 21-cm absorption in z > 0.1 radio galaxies and quasars yield a 40% detection rate, which is attributed to unified schemes of active galactic nuclei (AGN). In this paradigm absorption is only witnessed in (close to)…
Archival Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images were used to search for optical emission associated with the radio jets of a number of luminous quasars. From this search, we report new optical hotspot detections in the well-known blazar…
We present the first results from a major HST WFPC2 imaging study aimed at providing the first statistically meaningful comparison of the morphologies, luminosities, scalelengths and colours of the host galaxies of radio-quiet quasars,…
We present 1.4 and 5 GHz observations taken with the Very Large Array (VLA), and observations at 250 GHz obtained with the Max-Planck millimeter bolometer (MAMBO) at the IRAM 30~m telescope, of ten optically selected Quasi-stellar Objects…
We have been conducting an imaging survey to detect host galaxies of radio-quiet QSOs at high redshift (z = 2), in order to compare them with those of radio-loud objects. Six QSOs were observed in the R passband with the auxiliary port of…
We present the results of a high resolution (0.27 arcsec/px) near-infrared H band (1.65 micron) imaging survey of a complete sample of 20 flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) extracted from the 2Jy catalogue of radio sources. The observed…
The FIRST Radio Survey provides a new resource for constructing a large quasar sample. With source positions accurate to better than 1\arcsec\ and a point source sensitivity limit of 1 mJy, it reaches 50 times deeper than previous radio…
Based on the FIRST and SDSS catalogues a flux density limited sample of weak Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) sources with radio luminosity below 10^26 [W/Hz] at 1.4 GHz has been constructed. Our previous multifrequency observations of CSS…
A complete, flux density limited sample of 96 faint ($> 0.5$ mJy) radio sources is selected from the 10C survey at 15.7 GHz in the Lockman Hole. We have matched this sample to a range of multi-wavelength catalogues, including SERVS, SWIRE,…
We have obtained a deep radio image with the Very Large Array at 6 cm in the Lockman Hole. The noise level in the central part of the field is about 11 microJy. From these data we have extracted a catalogue of 63 radio sources. The analysis…
Radio observations of strongly lensed objects are valuable as cosmological probes. Lensed radio sources have proven difficult to identify in large part due to the limited depth and angular resolution of the previous generation of radio sky…
We present a multi-wavelength study of three new $z\sim5.6$ quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) identified from dedicated spectroscopic observations. The three sources were selected as high-$z$ candidates based on their radio and…
We present the results of K-band imaging polarimetry of seven 3CR radio galaxies at redshifts (z) between 0.7 and 1.2. We find strong evidence for polarization in three sources: 3C 22, 3C 41 and 3C 114. Of these, 3C 41 shows strong evidence…
Radio surveys of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) allow us to find supercritically accreting compact objects (SS 433/W50 like systems) or stripped nuclear black holes in nearby galaxies. We identified 21 such objects by crossmatching a…
We present high sensitivity polarimetric observations in 6 bands covering the 5.5-38 GHz range of a complete sample of 53 compact extragalactic radio sources brighter than 200 mJy at 20 GHz. The observations, carried out with the Australia…
We have carried out multi-colour imaging of the fields of a statistically complete sample of low-frequency selected radio loud quasars at 0.6<z<1.1, in order to determine the characteristics of their environments. The largest radio sources…
We present a detailed study of radio-detected dwarf galaxies (with stellar masses less than 3 billion solar masses) to characterize extreme star formation and search for (variable) radio AGNs. Our sample comes from Reines et al. (2020)…
