  • Magnetic Field Geometry in `Red' and `Blue' BL Lacs 
    Kharb, P; Gabuzda, D. C; Shastri, P (Springer, 2003-10)
    We compare the systematics of the magnetic field geometry in the `red' low-energy peaked BL Lacs (LBLs) and `blue' high-energy peaked BL Lacs (HBLs) using VLBI polarimetric images. The LBLs are primarily `radio-selected' ...

    Singh, V; Shastri, P; Risaliti, G (EDP Sciences, 2011-09)
    Context. The unification scheme of Seyfert galaxies hypothesizes that Seyfert type 1s and type 2s are intrinsically similar and the observed differences between the two subtypes are solely due to the differing orientations ...

    The BL Lacertae object AO 0235+16 is well known for its extreme optical and radio variability. New optical and radio data have been collected in the last four years by a wide international collaboration, which confirm the ...
  • Optical Nuclei of Radio-loud AGN and the Fanaroof-Riley Divide 
    Kharb, P; Shastri, P (EDP Sciences, 2004-10)
    We investigate the nature of the point-like optical nuclei that have been found in the centres of the host galaxies of a majority of radio galaxies by the Hubble Space Telescope. We examine the evidence that these optical ...

    Kharb, P; Shastri, P (International Astronomical Union, 2001)
    A majority of a complete sample of 3CR FR I radio galaxies show unresolved optical nuclear sources on the scales of 0.1 arcsec. These Compact Central Cores (CCC) have been interpreted as the optical counterparts of the ...
