(2021, May). Unmasking the history of 3C 293 with LOFAR sub‐arcsecond imaging. Presented at 6th Workshop on Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) and GHz-Peaked Spectrum (GPS) Radio Sources, Toruń, Poland

Active galactic nuclei show episodic activity, which can be evident in galaxies that exhibit restarted radio jets. These restarted jets can interact with their environment, leaving signatures in the radio spectral energy distribution. Tracing these s...

3C295 is a bright, compact steep spectrum source with a well-studied integrated radio spectral energy distribution (SED) from 132 MHz to 15 GHz. However, spatially resolved spectral studies have been limited due to a lack of high resolution images at...

Red quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) are a subset of the quasar population with colours consistent with reddening due to intervening dust. Recent work has demonstrated that red QSOs show special radio properties that fundamentally distinguish them from n...
