| contents | We provide an updated 'multiwavelength' version of the G4Jy catalogue (available at https://github.com/svw26/G4Jy, https://zenodo.org/communities/g4jy/records, and through VizieR), which has 127 new host-galaxy identifications, as described in Paper III of this paper series. We also supplement the redshift information (0.0 < z < 3.6), gathered in Paper III, with $griz$ photometry available through DR10 of the DESI Legacy Surveys. Together, this legacy dataset allows us to investigate the multiwavelength properties of these southern radio-bright galaxies, which includes an initial analysis of radio spectral-curvature for this complete sample (S_151MHz > 4 Jy). For example, we present (for the first time in the literature) the radio-power--size diagram as a function of radio spectral-curvature, [P--D](SCI), noting that the spectral-curvature index (SCI) can act as a proxy for the spectral age of the radio source. This radio-power--size--age diagram shows a predominance of radio galaxies with SCI > 0.15 and D < 200 kpc, which are candidates for both remnant radio-galaxies and young radio sources, and a vast range of linear sizes for candidate restarted radio-galaxies (having SCI < -0.15). We also show that (i) G4Jy sources populate the entirety of WISE colour-colour space, (ii) optically point-like sources (i.e. candidate quasars) are brighter than the well-studied K--z relation (as expected), and (iii) there is no relation between the SCI of the radio source and its host-galaxy properties. |
