Baryon acoustic oscillations from Integrated Neutral Gas Observations: Broadband corrugated horn construction and testing
The Baryon acoustic oscillations from Integrated Neutral Gas Observations (BINGO) telescope is a 40-m class radio telescope under construction that has been designed to measure the large-angular-scale intensit...

AGN Unification; Past Present and Future
Historically radio observations have been pivotal in the development of unified models. My feeling is that there are exiting possibilities for wider unification, particularly in the area of the relationship be...

The JVAS/Class Gravitational Lens Surveys
The JVAS/CLASS surveys are designed to find gravitational lens systems in which the flat spectrum cores of radio sources are multiply imaged. The prime motivation for the searches is to find systems from which...

The Angular Size-Redshift Test for Compact Radio Sources in the Caltech-Jodrell Bank Surveys
In 1958 Hoyle first suggested that the angular separation of the components of large double radio sources might be used as a standard rod in the classical angular diameter vs. redshift (θ-z) test (Hoyle 1959). Th...

Observations and Predictions of the Ratio of 3-Image to 5-Image Systems in JVAS
In JVAS we find more 5-image systems than 3-image systems. On conventional assumptions, we predict the ratio to be ∽5:1.

A Search for Gravitational Milli-Lenses
We have searched for gravitational milli-lens systems by examining VLBI maps of ∼ 300 flat-spectrum radio sources. So far we have followed up 7 candidates, with separations in the range 2–20 mas. None have bee...

Radio Measurement of the Time Delay in 0218+357
A time delay of 12±3 days has been measured for the lens system 0218+357 using VLA 15GHz polarization observations.

A VLA/MERLIN/VLBA for Intermediate Scale Lenses and the Discovery of a New Lens System?
We are searching for small lens systems (50-250 mas or 108 – 109 M ⊙) in a sample of ∼ 1800 flat spectrum radio sources. This is the first time a systematic search ...

0218+357: The smallest separation lensed system
A MERLIN map with 50 mas resolution at 5 GHz together with VLA maps at other frequencies show that 0218+357 is a gravitationally lensed system with two unresolved images of a compact core separated by 335 mas,...

Spectral differences between radio galaxies and quasars
IT has been suggested recently1–4 that two classes of radio-loud extragalactic object, narrow-line radio galaxies and quasars, are intrinsically similar, differing only in the angle from which they are seen by th...

Anisotropic optical and X-ray emission in quasars
IT is of fundamental importance in the study of quasars to understand whether or not their continuum emission is isotropic, because this affects the overall energy budget and can also help to distinguish betwe...

BL Lac objects, OW/HPQs and unified models
There is now considerable evidence that bulk relativistic motion is common in the nuclei of radio-loud active galactic nuclei. Progress in relativistic beaming unified models during the last ten years is revie...

Arc Second Structure of Compact Radio Sources
Radio sources which have the majority of their emission arising from regions ≲ 2 arc sec in diameter are relatively common, forming approximately 30% of all strong sources in surveys made at ∿ 1 GHz. Compact s...

MERLIN observations of superluminal radio sources
Powerful extragalactic radio sources may all be members of a single family in which those showing superluminal behaviour are the ones in which a relativistic jet is directed towards the observer. The superlumi...

Relativistic Beaming and Quasar Statistics
The predictions of a scheme which attributes the observed differences between flat and steep spectrum quasars to projection and the effects of relativistic beaming are explored. We conclude that the statistica...

VLBI structures of the images of the double QSO 0957 + 561
Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of the double QSO 0957 + 561 have revealed radio fine structure in the two ‘image’ components A and B. The structures are similar, both of the ‘core–jet’ t...

VLBI Observations of the double QSO, 0957 + 561 A, B
Walsh et al.1 originally suggested that the double QSO 0957 + 561 A, B might be images of the same object formed by a gravitational lens because of their remarkably similar optical spectra. Additional optical spe...

Radio studies of the double QSO, 0957 + 561A, B
The radio source 0957 + 561 has at least four components. Two coincide with the optical QSOs, which is in accordance with the hypothesis that the QSOs are images of a single object due to a gravitational lens....
