Fast radio bursts remain one of the most enigmatic astrophysical sources. Observations have significantly progressed over the last few years, thanks to the capabilities of new radio telescopes and the refurbishment of existing ones. Here we…

Pulsars are commonly regarded as highly magnetized neutron stars, rotating up to several hundred times per second. Over 1,500 radio pulsars have been found so far, about 70 of which are X-ray pulsars, but only a handful have been observed…

A year after \emph{Fermi} was launched, the number of known gamma-ray pulsars has increased dramatically. For the first time, a sizable population of pulsars has been discovered in gamma-ray data alone. For the first time, millisecond…
