We review the properties and nature of luminous high-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs, z > 2) and the environments in which they are located. HzRGs have several distinct constituents which interact with each other - relativistic plasma, gas in various forms, dust, stars and an active galactic nucleus (AGN). These building blocks provide unique diagnostics about conditions in the early Universe. We discuss the properties of each constituent. Evidence is presented that HzRGs are massive forming galaxies and the progenitors of brightest cluster galaxies in the local Universe. HzRGs are located in overdense regions in the early Universe and are frequently surrounded by protoclusters. We review the properties and nature of these radio-selected protoclusters. Finally we consider the potential for future progress in the field during the next few decades. A compendium of known HzRGs is given in an appendix.

  1. Helical radio jets as probes of magnetised cluster environments: Periodic Faraday Rotation Revealed in the Corkscrew Galaxy by POSSUM

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Periodic RM oscillations matching the Corkscrew jet's lateral deviations reveal a transition from jet/sheath to local-ICM Faraday media along the flow.

  2. Deep far-UV observations of the ELAIS N1 field using AstroSat: Source catalogue, spectral energy distribution modelling and star formation

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    UVIT FUV catalogues of ELAIS N1 plus CIGALE SED fits show SFR increasing with redshift and a flat young-to-total stellar mass ratio to z≲0.76, consistent with secular SFMS evolution.

  3. PEARLS: JWST Counterparts of Micro-Jy Radio Sources in the NEP Time Domain Field. II. All Four Spokes

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Nearly every microjansky radio source in the NEP field has a bright JWST 4.4 μm host galaxy, and most hosts are star-forming, with a large minority showing active-galactic-nucleus signatures.

  4. Far-infrared observations of dust in Ly$\alpha$ emitters at z=2-6

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Far-IR stacking of ~4000 LAEs at z=2-6 yields detections in massive AGN hosts with low f_esc(Lyα) (1-7%) and higher values (>10%) in undetected stacks, plus elevated IRX relative to typical star-forming galaxies.

  5. Tracing the Cosmic web across Cosmic time through SKA observations of radio galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    A review/roadmap arguing that SKA observations of radio galaxies, combined with multi-wavelength redshift and cosmic-web catalogues, will let radio galaxies trace and probe the structure, magnetism, and energetics of ...
