Since its discovery in 1992, GRS 1915+105 has been among the brightest sources in the X-ray sky. However, in early 2018, it dimmed significantly and has stayed in this faint state ever since. We report on AstroSat and NuSTAR observation of…

We present the analysis of an XMM observation of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 2992. The source was found in its highest level of X-ray activity yet detected, a factor $\sim 23.5$ higher in 2--10 keV flux than the historical minimum. NGC 2992 is…

We report on optical-near-infrared photopolarimetric observations of a blazar 3C 454.3 over 200 d. The object experienced an optical outburst in July 2007. This outburst was followed by a short state fainter than $V=15.2$ mag lasting $\sim…

Since 2007, the blazar 3C 454.3 has become the most active and the brightest gamma-ray source of the sky, deserving the nickname of "Crazy Diamond". The short-term variability in the gamma-ray energy band and the extremely high peak fluxes…

Gamma rays at rest frame energies as high as 90 GeV have been reported from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). There is considerable hope that a confirmed GRB detection will be possible with the upcoming…

Flaring activity in blazars can last for vastly different time-scales, and may be the result of density enhancements in the jet flow that result from the intrusion of an interstellar cloud into the jet. We investigate the lightcurves…

We report on a detailed analysis of the $\gamma$-ray light curve of NGC 1275 using the Fermi large area telescope data accumulated in 2008-2017. Major $\gamma$-ray flares were observed in October 2015 and December 2016/January 2017 when the…

We present an analysis of 8 years of Fermi-LAT ( > 0.1 GeV) gamma-ray data obtained for the radio galaxy NGC 1275. The gamma-ray flux from NGC 1275 is highly variable on short (~ days to weeks) timescales, and has steadily increased over…

Strong X-ray flares from the blazar Mrk 421 were detected in 2010 January and February through the 7 month monitoring with the MAXI GSC. The maximum 2 -- 10 keV flux in the January and February flares was measured as 120 +- 10 mCrab and 164…

BL Lacertae had undergone a series of historical high flux activity over a year, from August 2020 in the optical to VHE $\gamma$-rays. In this paper, we report on optical flux and spectral variability of the first historical maxima outburst…

GRS 1915+105 has been active for more than 26 years since it was discovered in 1992. There are hundreds of RXTE pointed observations on this source, and the quasi-regular flares with a slow rise and a sharp decrease (i.e. the "heartbeat"…

Powerful relativistic jets are one of the ubiquitous features of accreting black holes in all scales. GRS 1915+105 is a well-known fast-spinning black-hole X-ray binary with a relativistic jet, termed as a ``microquasar'', as indicated by…

In this work, I have presented a multi-frequency variability and correlation study of the blazar Ton 599, which was observed first time in flaring state at the end of 2017. Data from \textit{Fermi}-LAT, Swift-XRT/UVOT, Steward Observatory,…
