Before 1985, attempts to detect radio or X-ray emission from Magnetic CP (MCP) stars were either fruitless or ambiguous. However, more successful results have been obtained in the last dozen years: (i) Radio emission has now been detected…

Radio observations of stars trace the plasma conditions and magnetic field properties of stellar magnetospheres and coronae. Depending on the plasma conditions at the emitter site, radio emission in the metre- and decimetre-wave bands is…

Fast radio bursts are brief, highly dispersed bursts detected in the radio band, originating from cosmological distances. The only such event detected in the Milky Way galaxy, FRB 20200428DD, was associated with an X-ray burst emitted by a…

Recent XMM-Newton observations of the B2 type star rho Oph A indicated a periodicity of 1.205d, which was ascribed to rotational modulation. Since variability of X-ray emission in massive stars is frequently the signature of a magnetic…

Detectable radio emission occurs during almost all phases of massive star evolution. I will concentrate on the thermal and non-thermal continuum emission from early-type stars. The thermal radio emission is due to free-free interactions in…

Radio emission has been detected in a broad variety of stellar objects from all stages of stellar evolution. However, most of our knowledge originates from targeted observations of small samples, which are strongly biased to sources which…

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are short duration highly energetic dispersed radio pulses. We developed a generic formalism (Bera {\em et al.}, 2016) to estimate the FRB detection rate for any radio telescope with given parameters. By using this…

The fast (ms) radio bursts reported by Thornton, {\it et al.} have extremely high brightness temperatures if at the inferred cosmological distances. This implies coherent emission by "bunches" of charges. We model the emission region as a…

During recent years some non-thermal radio emitting OB stars have been discovered to be binary, or multiple systems. The non-thermal emission is due to synchrotron radiation that is emitted by electrons accelerated up to high energies. The…
