X-ray variability provides a powerful probe of the innermost regions of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), offering valuable insights into the accretion process and the structure of the corona. Previous studies have established a correlation…

We introduce a numerical optimization method to extract the X-ray reverberation response functions from the multi-band light curves of the active galactic nuclei. This approach does not require prior assumptions about the accretion disc and…

Flaring activity from the jets of active galactic nuclei has been studied for several decades, closely related to the loading and evolution of the jet. In this work, we focus on the sub-hundred parsec jet region, well traced by non-thermal…

We aim to confirm the compact nature and constrain the radio spectra of candidate persistent radio sources (PRSs) associated with repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs). We performed European VLBI Network (EVN) observations at 5 and 8 GHz…

This chapter provides an almost comprehensive guide to the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) data analysis. The chapter briefly introduces the IXPE spacecraft and the instrument onboard; subsequently, the strategies adopted to…

Here we report null results in the search for radio emission below $200$~MHz from six known fast radio burst sources. The observations reported here were taken using the Irish LOFAR station's high-band antennas over the course of 2020, 2021…

Flat-Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) are among the most energetic and powerful active galactic nuclei, often exhibiting jet powers comparable to or exceeding the Eddington luminosity. In this work, we performed broadband spectral energy…

Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) afterglows have been suggested as probes of the central engine. Such interpretations generally assume that the observed modulation frequency directly corresponds to an intrinsic…

EP J171159.4-333253 is a new neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary discovered in outburst by the Einstein Probe (EP) on 2025 June 23, exhibiting clocked type-I X-ray bursts, eclipses and dips. In this paper, we report on the results of the…

Subatomic particles can interact with target nuclei in matter or decay in flight, and an individual high-energy particle can induce a particle shower composed of numerous, lower-energy secondaries. These particle showers broadly exhibit…

We develop a model of particle energization and emission from strongly turbulent black-hole coronae. Our local model is based on a set of 2D radiative particle-in-cell simulations with an electron-ion plasma composition, injection and…

We study the effects of escaping cosmic rays (CRs) on the interstellar medium (ISM) around their source with spherically symmetric CR-hydrodynamical simulations taking into account the evolution of the CR energy spectrum, radiative cooling,…

Current large-scale, high-cadence surveys, such as the ZTF, provide detections of new and rare types of transients and supernovae whose physical origins are not well understood. We investigate the nature of SN 2021lwz at a redshift…

Dense star clusters are thought to contribute significantly to the merger rates of stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) detected by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. We combine $N$-body dynamic models of realistic dense star clusters…

High redshift Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are expected to be extremely powerful probes of our Universe. However, while a significant number of FRBs are expected to exist at high redshift, detecting them has been difficult, with only a handful…

We study the X-ray reverberation in active galactic nuclei (AGN) using the variational autoencoder (VAE), which is a machine-learning algorithm widely used for signal processing and feature reconstruction. While the X-ray reverberation…

The inspiral of supermassive black-hole binaries in gas-rich environment is driven by the presence of an accretion disc and viscous interactions tend to align the spin of the black holes with the orbital angular momentum of the disc. Recent…

The supernova remnant (SNR) G25.1-2.3 was identified in the radio band during the Sino-German $\lambda$6 cm survey of the Galactic plane. We present a detailed investigation of the optical, HI, and CO emission towards the G25.1-2.3 to…

We review selected aspects of the interior physics of compact stars, focusing on the microscopic and macroscopic manifestations of spin, magnetic fields, and nucleonic superfluidity and superconductivity. Spin statistics of fermions allows…

The interstellar scintillation observed in radio pulsars arises from interference between electromagnetic waves scattered by electron density fluctuations in the turbulent interstellar plasma, providing a critical tool for probing the…
