We present the results of a multi-frequency study of the structural evolution of the VLBI jet in the BL Lac object 0716+714 over the last 10 years. We show VLBI images obtained at 5 GHz, 8.4 GHz, 15 GHz and 22 GHz. The milliarcsecond source…

Although the radio emission from most quasars appears to be associated with star forming activity in the host galaxy, about ten percent of optically selected quasars have very luminous relativistic jets apparently powered by a SMBH which is…

There is growing evidence that relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei undergo extended (parsec-scale) acceleration. We argue that, contrary to some suggestions in the literature, this acceleration cannot be purely hydrodynamic. Using…

The flat-spectrum radio quasar 3C 345 has been showing gamma-ray activity since the mid-2000s along with activity across the electromagnetic spectrum. A gamma-ray burst in 2009 was successfully linked to relativistic outflow in 43 GHz VLBI…

The precessing jet-nozzle scenario previously proposed was applied to model-fit the kinematics of five superluminal components (C19,C20,C21,B5 and B7) of jet-B in blazar 3C345. Based on a specific pattern for the the precessing common…

Dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) and supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) at kpc and pc-scale separations, respectively, are expected during stages of galaxy merger and evolution. Their observational identification can address a…

The kinematic behavior of superluminal components observed at 43 GHz in blazar 3C454.3 were model-fitted with their light curves interpreted in terms of their Doppler-boosting effect. The relation between the flux evolution of superluminal…

We present results on the compact steep-spectrum quasar 3C 48 from observations with the VLBA, MERLIN and EVN at multiple radio frequencies. In the 1.5-GHz VLBI images, the radio jet is characterized by a series of bright knots. The active…

The velocity field of the M87 jet from milli-arcsecond (mas) to arcsecond scales is extensively investigated together with new radio images taken by EVN observations. We detected proper motions of components located at between 160 mas from…

When a gravitational lens produces two or more images of a quasar's radio jet the images can be compared to reveal the presence of small structures along one or more of the lines of sight. If mass is distributed smoothly on scales of <~…

The centres of galaxies are powerful laboratories to test the current $\Lambda$CDM model for structure formation and evolution. While these sub-galactic scales can be directly investigated in the local Universe, it is observationally…

High-resolution observations of high-redshift ($z>4$) radio quasars offer a unique insight into jet kinematics at early cosmological epochs, as well as constraints on cosmological model parameters. Due to the general weakness of extremely…

Detailed studies of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) require high-fidelity imaging at the highest possible resolution. This can be achieved using very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) at radio frequencies, combining…

Very long base interferometry (VLBI) radio images recently proved to be essential in breaking the degeneracy in the ejecta model for the neutron star merger GW170817. We discuss the properties of synthetic radio images of merger jet…

We compute the effective values of apparent transverse velocity and flux boosting factors for the VLBI radio knots of blazar jets, by integrating over the angular distributions of these quantities across the widths of jets with finite…

This paper theoretically investigates the relations between the structure of relativistic jets and produced synchrotron images, by using a steady axisymmetric force-free jet model. We especially focus on the limb-brightened jets that are…

We consider the emission processes in the large-scale jets of powerful quasars based on the results obtained with the VLA, Spitzer, Hubble, and Chandra. We show that two well-known jets, 3C 273 and PKS 1136-135, have two distinct spectral…

Previous Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of the quasar B1152+199 at 5GHz has revealed two images of a strongly lensed jet with seemingly discordant morphologies. Whereas the jet appears straight in one of the images,…

Binary neutron star mergers are believed to eject significant masses with a diverse range of velocities. Once these ejected materials begin to be decelerated by a homogeneous medium, relativistic electrons are mainly cooled down by…

Relativistic jets of radio loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) produce highly directed, intense beams of radiation. A fraction of this beamed radiation scatters on the thermal plasma generally surrounding an AGN. The morphology of the…
