One of the exciting results of the last years concerning the study of the large-scale structure is the discovery of long (3-5 Mpc) bridges of radio emission connecting pairs of interacting clusters. This is the first direct evidence of the…

We have discovered 12 new millisecond pulsars in 6 globular clusters in which no pulsars were previously known, in the first two years of a search at 1.4 GHz in progress at the Parkes radio telescope. Here we briefly describe the…

Data from observations of pulsars made by Murriyang, the CSIRO Parkes 64-metre radio-telescope over the last three decades are more accessible than ever before, largely due to their storage in expansive long-term archives. Containing nearly…

Magnetic fields are observed everywhere in the universe. In this review, we concentrate on the observational aspects of the magnetic fields of Galactic and extragalactic objects. Readers can follow the milestones in the observations of…

The New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an international collaboration to build and operate a 4 m diameter fully robotic telescope. The telescope will take advantage of the superb atmospheric conditions at the Observatory of the Roque de los…

We report on the discovery of three new pulsars in the first blind survey of the north Galactic plane (45 < l < 135 ; |b| < 1) with the Giant Meterwave Radio telescope (GMRT) at an intermediate frequency of 610 MHz. The timing parameters,…

During February 2016, CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science and the Max-Planck-Institute for Radio Astronomy installed, commissioned and carried out science observations with a phased array feed (PAF) receiver system on the 64m diameter Parkes…

H.E.S.S. results from the first three years of nominal operation are presented. Among the many exciting measurements that have been made, most gamma-ray sources are of Galactic origin. I will concentrate here on an overview of Galactic…

I summarize in this paper the results and perspectives of representative ground experiments for the observation of very high energy cosmic rays.

The last two decades have brought spectacular advances in astrophysics of cosmic rays (CRs) and space- and ground-based astronomy. Launches of missions that employ forefront detector technologies enabled measurements with large effective…

Giant radio galaxies (GRGs) are a subclass of radio galaxies which have grown to megaparsec scales. GRGs are much rarer than normal sized radio galaxies (< 0.7 Mpc) and the reason for their gigantic sizes is still debated. Here, we report…

The Galactic center offers us a unique opportunity to test General Relativity (GR) with the orbits of stars around a supermassive black hole. Observations of these stars have been one of the great successes of adaptive optics on 8-10 m…

Breakthrough Listen is a ten-year initiative to search for signatures of technologies created by extraterrestrial civilizations at radio and optical wavelengths. Here, we detail the digital data recording system deployed for Breakthrough…

We report results from Exploratory Time observations of the double-pulsar system PSR J0737-3039 using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). The large gain of the GBT, the diversity of the pulsar backends, and the four different frequency bands…

In 2012, physicists and astronomers celebrated the hundredth anniversary of the detection of cosmic rays by Viktor Hess. One year later, in 2013, there was first evidence for extraterrestrial high-energy neutrinos, i.e. for signal which may…

The Parkes Multibeam Survey led to the identification ofa number of long-period radio pulsars with magnetic field well above the quantum critical field of 4.4 times 10 to 13 G (defined as high magnetic field radio pulsars - HBRPs).…

The Pierre Auger Observatory is a major international effort aiming at high-statistics study of highest energy cosmic rays. A general description of the experimental set-up and overall performance of the detector at first light are…

Einsteins general theory of relativity is one of the most important accomplishments in the history of science. Its experimental verification a century ago is therefore an essential milestone that is worth celebrating in full. We reassess…

We describe the design of a radio interferometer composed of a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) antenna and a Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) radio telescope. Our eventual goal is to use this interferometer for geodetic…

We report here the first results of the spectral and timing analysis of our simultaneous INTEGRAL/RXTE observations of GRS 1915+105. The first observation ever performed with INTEGRAL revealed a new class of variability, where changes of…
