چکیده
We are conducting a multi-wavelength (radio, optical, and X-ray) observational campaign to classify, morphologically and physically, a sample of 55 flat-spectrum radio sources dominated by structure on kpc-scales. This sample contains 22 compact-/medium-sized symmetric object candidates, a class of objects thought to be the early stages of the evolution of radio galaxies. The vast majority of the remaining objects have core-plus-one-sided-jet structures, half of which present sharply bent jets, probably due to strong interactions with the interstellar medium of the host galaxies. Once the observational campaign is completed, we will constrain evolutionary theories of radio galaxies at their intermediate stages and possibly understand the physics of the hypothesized narrow line region in active galactic nuclei, given our advantageous statistical position.

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We report ROSAT PSPC spatial and spectral analysis of the eight B2 radio galaxies 3C 449, expected to be representative of the class of low-power radio galaxies. Multiple X-ray components are present in each, and the gas components have a wide range of linear sizes and follow an extrapolation of the cluster X-ray luminosity/temperature correlation, implying th...

B, V and R optical photometry performed on the field of the GRB 970111 soon after its detection by BeppoSAX is presented. No remarkable optical object is found inside the corrected error box. The optical counterpart of an X–ray and radio source and a suspected red variable (probably an eclipsing binary) have been detected inside the field of GRB 970111.

We have observed the galaxy environments around two complete samples of radio-loud (steep-spectrum) and radio-quiet quasars (RLQ and RQQ) at 0.5 ≤ z ≤ 0.8 that are matched in B-luminosity, and find that the environments of both quasar populations are practically indistinguishable. A few objects are found in relatively rich clusters, but on average, they seem to prefer galaxy groups or clusters ...

We have detected an optical jet in the BL Lac object 3C 371 that coincides with the radio jet in this object in the central few kpc. The most notable feature is a bright optical knot 3 ′′ (4 kpc) from the nucleus that occurs at the location where the jet apparently changes its direction by ∼ 30 •. The radio, near-infrared and optical observations of this knot are consistent with a single power-...
