We have investigated the radio emission from the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1547.0-5408 (PSR J1550-5418) using the Parkes telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The flux density of the pulsar is roughly the same between 1.4 and…

We have reprocessed a set of observations of 75 bright, unidentified, steep-spectrum polarized radio sources taken with the Green Bank 43-m telescope to find previously undetected sub-millisecond pulsars and radio bursts. The (null) results…

We investigated the radio spectra of two magnetars, PSR J1622$-$4950 and 1E 1547.0$-$5408, using observations from the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array taken in 2017. Our observations of…

Radio pulsars are believed to have their emission powered by the loss of rotational kinetic energy. By contrast, magnetars show intense X-ray and gamma-ray radiation whose luminosity greatly exceeds that due to spin-down and is believed to…

A link between magnetars and fast radio burst (FRB) sources has finally been established. In this context, one of the open issues is whether/which sources of extra galactic FRBs exhibit X/gamma-ray outbursts and whether it is correlated…

We analyse archival data from the Parkes radio telescope which was observing a location 35.6$^\circ$ away from SGR 1806-20 during its giant $\gamma$-ray flare of 2004 December 27. We show that no FRB-like burst counterpart was detected, and…

Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the aftermath of compact binary mergers involving neutron stars. If the merger remnant is a millisecond magnetar instead of a black hole, a significant proportion of the rotational energy deposited to the…

We report the detection of gamma-ray pulsations from the high-magnetic-field rotation-powered pulsar PSR J1119-6127 using data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope. The gamma-ray light curve of PSR J1119-6127 shows a single, wide peak offset…

GRB200522A is a short duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) at redshift $z$=0.554 characterized by a bright infrared counterpart. A possible, although not unambiguous, interpretation of the observed emission is the onset of a luminous kilonova…

The ROSAT X-ray source 1RXS J141256.0+792204 has recently been identified as a likely compact object whose properties suggest it could be a very nearby radio millisecond pulsar at d = 80 - 260pc. We investigated this hypothesis by searching…
