(abridged) A previous analysis of the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager observation of GRB 021206 found that the gamma-ray flux was 80+/-20 polarized. We re-examine this data and find no signal that can be interpreted as…

Radio relics are elongated sources related to shocks driven by galaxy cluster merger events. Although these objects are highly polarized at GHz frequencies ($\gtrsim 20\%$), high-resolution studies of their polarization properties are still…

We investigate the origin of the large clustering signal detected in the angular distribution of the radio sources in the TGSS catalog. To do so, we cross-correlate the angular position of the radio sources with the Cosmic Microwave…
