Description
As an example to the potential of on-going AGN surveys we show how to select a set of radio sources with a structure-related objective: e.g. to study the size and properties of the narrow-line emission region (NLR) in AGN. A straight radio jet blasting through the NLR/ISM border suffers shocks that are seen as prominent radio features. From a complete sample of 1665 radio sources, we selected, by size alone, 55 objects with features on 0.1-1 kpc scales (and flux ratio > 7:1 as compared to the core) and are studying them in detail at optical and high resolution radio. In addition to explaining the radio interferometric selection technique that we used, we will also speculate on the prospects for size selection of sub-samples from other wavelengths/surveys.

    ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: science goals, project overview, and future developments
    The first generation of ELT instruments includes an optical-infrared high resolution spectrograph, indicated as ELT-HIRES and recently christened ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph). ANDES consists of three fibre-fed spectrographs ([U]BV, RIZ, YJH) providing a spectral resolution of ∼100,000 with a minimum simultaneous wavelength

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: UBV spectrograph preliminary design
    We present the design of the ANDES UBV module, the bluest spectrograph of the ANDES instrument. It is a fiber-fed high resolution, high stability spectrograph, which will be installed on the ELT-Nasmyth platform to minimize blue fibre losses from the focal plane to the spectrograph. In this paper we present the status of development of the
