    A rapid response to GRB 070411

    We report on early observations of the optical afterglow of GRB 070411 obtained by the Črni Vrh 0.6-m, the ROTSE IIIc 0.45-m, and the Tautenburg 1.34-m Schmidt...

    Constraints on Gamma-Ray and Neutrino Emission from NGC 1068 with the MAGIC Telescopes

    Starburst galaxies and star-forming active galactic nuclei are among the candidate sources thought to contribute appreciably to the extragalactic gamma-ray and...

    Dark bursts in the Swift era

    The nature of the dark bursts is still not fully understood. Here, we report on some of our recent studies on Swift dark bursts. Thereby, we pay particular...

    Detection and Timing of Gamma-Ray Pulsations from the 707 Hz Pulsar J0952-0607

    The Low-Frequency Array radio telescope discovered the 707 Hz binary millisecond pulsar (MSP) J0952-0607 in a targeted radio pulsation search of an unidentified...

    Galactic population of radio and gamma-ray pulsars

    We simulate the characteristics of the Galactic population of radio and gamma-ray pulsars using Monte Carlo techniques. At birth, neutron stars are spatially...

    GRB 070610: Flares from a peculiar Galactic source

    The majority of bright gamma-ray transients that we observe in the sky, are produced by extragalactic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, we know that there are...

    GRB 080514B: the first high-energy AGILE burst with optical/NIR afterglow

    The AGILE gamma-ray burst GRB 080514B was the first detected to have emission at energies above 30 MeV and an optical/NIR afterglow. Here we summarize the main...
