Journal ArticleDOI

The Compact Steep-Spectrum and Gigahertz Peaked-Spectrum Radio Sources

TL;DR: In this article, the radio to X-ray properties of GPS and CSS sources are reviewed and the current hypotheses for their origin and their use to constrain the evolution of powerful radio galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quasars, their host galaxies and their central black holes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the final results from the deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging study of the host galaxies of radio-quiet quasars (RQQs), radio-loud quaars (RLQs) and radio galaxies (RGs).
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparative hst imaging study of the host galaxies of radio-quiet quasars, radio-loud quasars and radio galaxies - i

TL;DR: In this paper, 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-loud quasars, radio-quasars and radio galaxies were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unification of the Radio and Optical Properties of Gigahertz Peak Spectrum and Compact Steep-Spectrum Radio Sources

TL;DR: In this article, the authors adopt the view that the classes of active galactic nuclei (AGN) known variously as gigahertz peak spectrum (GPS) sources, compact steep-spectrum (CSS) sources and compact symmetric objects (CSO) generally represent the same sort of object and show that both their radio spectra and optical emission can be explained by a single model which incorporates the e†ects produced by the interaction of a jet-driven nonthermal lobe with a dense interstellar medium.
