New Effelsberg 1.4 GHz observations of the central 10\degr x 10\degr of the Virgo cluster are presented. NVSS data are used to subtract point sources from our map. During the data reduction process special care is taken (i) to disentangle…

We present a new photometric catalogue of the rich globular cluster (GC) system around M87, the brightest cluster galaxy in Virgo. Using archival Next Generation Virgo cluster Survey (NGVS) images in the ugriz bands, observed with…

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory is an extensive air shower array located in Puebla, Mexico. The closest radio galaxy within the HAWC field of view, M87, has been detected in very high energies. In this work we…

Several authors (S. Bowyer, T. Berghoeffer, and E. Korpela, hereinafter abbreviated as BBK) recently announced that the luminous extended EUV radiation from the clusters Abell 1795 and Abell 2199, which represents the large scale presence…

The discovery of EUV and soft X-ray excess emission in clusters of galaxies (the cluster soft-excess phenomenon) challenged the notion of the hot ($\sim 10^{7-8}$ K) gas as the only dominant thermal component of the intracluster medium…

We fit the ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray (UHECR, $E\gtrsim0.1$ EeV) spectrum and composition data from the Pierre Auger Observatory at energies $E\gtrsim5\cdot10^{18}$ eV, i.e., beyond the ankle using two populations of astrophysical sources.…

We present a multifrequency dataset for an optically-selected, volume-limited, complete sample of 118 late-type galaxies (>= S0a) in the Virgo cluster. The database includes UV, visible, near-IR, mid-IR, far-IR, radio continuum photometric…

Clusters of galaxies are believed to contain a significant population of cosmic rays. From the radio and probably hard X-ray bands it is known that clusters are the spatially most extended emitters of non-thermal radiation in the Universe.…

The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite was used for three days beginning on 1997 Mar 26.96 UT to obtain photometric and spectroscopic observations of the eclipsing SU UMa-type dwarf nova OY Carinae in superoutburst. Because of…

The radio galaxy M87 is a variable very-high energy (VHE) gamma-ray source, exhibiting three major flares reported in 2005, 2008, and 2010. Despite extensive studies, the origin of the VHE gamma-ray emission is yet to be understood. In this…

The detection of excess of soft X-ray or Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) radiation, above the thermal contribution from the hot intracluster medium (ICM), has been a controversial subject ever since the initial discovery of this phenomenon. We…

We present a multi-wavelength study of the emission-line nebulae located southeast of the nucleus of M87, the central dominant galaxy of the Virgo Cluster. We report the detection of far-infrared (FIR) [CII] line emission from the nebulae…

The origin of the diffuse extragalactic, high-energy gamma-ray background (EGRB) filling the Universe remains unknown. The spectrum of this extragalactic radiation, as measured by the EGRET on-board CGRO, is well-fit by a power law across…

We report the initial results of a survey for intracluster planetary nebulae in the Virgo Cluster. In two 16' x 16' fields, we identify 69 and 16 intracluster planetary nebula candidates, respectively. In a third 16' x 16' field near the…

We consider the possibility of explaining the observed spectrum and composition of the cosmic rays with energies above $10^{17}$ eV in terms of two different extragalactic populations of sources in the presence of a turbulent intergalactic…

(abridged) The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite was employed in 1999 February to acquire phase-resolved EUV photometric and spectroscopic observations of the AM Her-type cataclysmic variable V834 Centauri. Although we do not…

We have performed a wide-field imaging survey of the globular cluster (GC) populations around M87 out to a radius of ~ 0.5 Mpc with Suprime-Cam on the 8.2m Subaru Telescope. By investigating the GC colour distribution as a function of…

We report sub-arcsecond X-ray imaging spectroscopy of M87 and the core of the Virgo cluster with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The X-ray morphology shows structure on arcsecond (~100 pc) to ten arcminute (~50 kpc) scales, the most…
