We study a sample of 30 high-redshift blazars ($z>2.5$) by means of spectra and the radiation mechanism with Fermi Large Area Telescope $\gamma$-ray observations spanning 15 years. Three models -- the power law, power law with an…

Despite numerous studies, the origin of the gamma-ray emission from blazars is still debated, in particular whether it is produced by leptonic or hadronic processes. In this study, we are testing the leptonic scenario for the Flat Spectrum…

Radio and gamma-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) are thought to share a common origin, related to the ejection phenomena in the vicinity of supermassive black holes. Thanks to its sensitivity, surveying capability, and broad…

We select a sample of 34 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) whose $\Gamma_0$ values are derived with the onset peaks observed in the afterglow lightcurves (except for GRB 060218 whose $\Gamma_0$ is estimated with its radio data), and investigate the…

We report the discovery of a correlation among three prompt emission properties of GRBs. These are the isotropic peak luminosity L_iso, the peak energy of the time-integrated prompt emission spectrum E_pk, and the ``high signal" timescale…

We study the correlation between the gamma-ray flux F_g, averaged over the first 11 months of Fermi survey and integrated above 100 MeV, and the radio flux density (F_r at 20 GHz) of Fermi sources associated with a radio counterpart in the…

The narrow emission line luminosities of radio-loud AGN are well-correlated with their low-frequency radio luminosities. This correlation is linear and extends over at least four orders of magnitude. The correlation is discussed in terms of…

We explore the connection between the $\gamma$-ray and radio emission in the jet of the blazar 0716$+$714 by using 15, 37, and 230 GHz radio and 0.1$-$200 GeV $\gamma$-ray light curves spanning 10.5 years (2008$-$2019). We find significant…

We suggest a connection between the pulse paradigm at gamma-ray energies and the recently demonstrated luminosity distribution in gamma-ray bursts: the spectral evolution timescale of pulse structures is anticorrelated with peak luminosity,…

We compare the gamma-ray photon flux variability of northern blazars in the Fermi/LAT First Source Catalog with 37 GHz radio flux density curves from the Metsahovi quasar monitoring program. We find that the relationship between…
