What is Detection of radio-AGN in dust-obscured galaxies using deep uGMRT radio continuum observations about?

Radio observations being insensitive to the dust-obscuration, have been exploited to unveil the population of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) residing in galaxies with large dust content. In this paper, we investigate the radio characteristics of 321 dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs; S$_{\rm 24 {\mu}m}$/S$_{\rm r band}$ $\geq$1000) by using mainly deep band-3 (250$-$550 MHz) observations from the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) and 1.5 GHz Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) observations. We find that, for our sample of DOGs, deep (median noise-rms $=$ 30 $\mu$Jy beam$^{-1}$) 400 MHz band-3 uGMRT observations yield the highest detection rate (28 per cent) among those obtained with the JVLA, and the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) radio observations and the ${\it XMM-N}$ X-ray observations. The radio characteristics of our sample sources, ${\it i.e.,}$ linear extent ($<$40 kpc at $z$ $<$1.2), bimodal spectral index (${\alpha}_{\rm 400 MHz}^{\rm 1.5 GHz}$) distribution and the radio luminosities (L$_{\rm 1.5 GHz}$ $>$5.0 $\times$ 10$^{23}$ W Hz$^{-1}$), suggest them to be mainly consist of Compact$-$Steep$-$Spectrum (CSS) or Peaked-Spectrum (PS) sources representing an early phase o
