RADIO GALAXIES AND QUASARS

Aim of the "Radio Galaxies and Quasars" group is to study the characteristcs of the radio emission from galaxies and quasars with particular interest in:

Morphology (on different linear scales), spectral index, polarization, radio cores and variability. This ranges from Centaurus A (studied with VLBI, ATCA and Parkes) to high redshift objects

Comparison with the emission in other wavebands and test of the "Unified schemes" for radio loud Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN).

Effect of environment on the properties of radio sources.
