In this paper, the authors presented high-resolution observations of steep-spectrum radio sources made with MERLIN at 5 GHz and found that the majority of the quasars have complex structures, while galaxies tend to have double or triple structures.Abstract:
We present high-resolution observations of steep-spectrum radio sources made with MERLIN at 5 GHz. Thirty-one objects, comprising 11 quasars and 20 galaxies, most of them being Compact Steep-Spectrum sources (CSSs), have been mapped with resolutions from 80 to 150 mas. This completes the current series of observations of CSS sources made with MERLIN at 5 GHz. We find that the majority of the quasars have complex structures, while galaxies tend to have double or triple structures, consistent with other recent studies of CSSsread more

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.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a homogeneous and 92% complete optical spectral dataset of the 3CR radio sources with redshift < 0.3, which revealed the presence of two main sub-populations of radio-loud AGNs, referred to as high and low excitation galaxies (HEG and LEG), respectively.

X-ray emission properties of large-scale jets, hot spots, and lobes in active galactic nuclei
Jun Kataoka,Łukasz Stawarz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the origin of X-ray emissions and the dynamics of the jets in radio galaxies and concluded that if the inverse Compton model is the case, the Xray-bright jet knots are most likely far from the minimum power condition.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of the first major systematic submillimetre survey of radio galaxies spanning the redshift range 1 2.5, and the average sub-millimeter luminosity rises at a rate ∝(1+z)3 out to z≃4.
