Variable \gama-ray emission from blazars, one of the most powerful classes of astronomical sources featuring relativistic jets, is a widely discussed topic. In this work, we present the results of a variability study of a sample of 20…
We present results of variability study of a sample of 20 powerful blazars using Fermi/LAT (0.1--300 GeV) observations. We studied decade-long observations applying various analysis tools such as flux distribution, symmetry analysis, and…
We present the results of the $\gamma$-ray flux distribution study on the brightest blazars which are observed by the \emph{Fermi}-LAT. We selected 50 brightest blazars based on the maximum number of detection reported in the LAT third AGN…
We present a detailed study of flux and index distributions of three blazars (one FSRQ and two BL Lacs) by using 16 years of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer archival data. The three blazars were chosen such that their flux and index…
Fermi-LAT LCR provide continuous and regularly-sampled gamma-ray light curves, spanning about 14 years, for a large sample of blazars. The log-normal flux distribution and linear RMS-Flux relation of the light curves for a few of Fermi…
We present a study of the flux distribution of a sample of 15 Intermediate and Low-energy peaked blazars using XMM-Newton observations in a total of 57 epochs on short-term timescales. We characterise the X-ray variability of all of the…
Thanks to tremendous experimental efforts, galactic cosmic-ray fluxes are being measured up to the unprecedented per cent precision level. The logarithmic slope of these fluxes is a crucial quantity that promises us information on the…
We present an in-depth and systematic variability study of a sample of 20 powerful blazars, including 12 BL Lacs and 8 flat spectrum radio quasars, applying various analysis tools such as flux distribution, symmetry analysis, and time…
In the use and interpretation of $\log{N}$--$\log{S}$ distributions for gamma-ray bursts, burst peak flux has typically been used for $S$. We consider here the use of the fluence as a measure of $S$, which may be a more appropriate quantity…
We investigate the evolution of the skewness of the distribution of density fluctuations in CDM models with both Gaussian and non--Gaussian initial fluctuations. We show that the method proposed by Coles \& Frenk (1991), which uses the…
The Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A* is a variable NIR source that exhibits bright flux excursions called flares. The low-flux density turnover of the flux distribution is below the sensitivity of current single-aperture…
Using the sample of long Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by Swift-BAT before June 2007, we measure the cumulative distribution of the peak photon fluxes (log N - log P) of the Swift bursts. Compared with the BATSE sample, we find that the…
Measurements of cosmic ray fluxes by the PAMELA and CREAM experiments show unexpected spectral features between 200 GeV and 100 TeV. They could be due to the presence of nearby and young cosmic ray sources. This can be studied in the myriad…
Strong gravitational lensing gives access to the total mass distribution of galaxies. It can unveil a great deal of information about the lenses dark matter content when combined with the study of the lenses light profile. However,…
We studied the complete randomness of the angular distribution of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by BATSE. Since GRBs seem to be a mixture of objects of different physical nature we divided the BATSE sample into 5 subsamples (short1,…
(Abridged) Several phenomena in astrophysics generate light curves with time delays. Among these are reverberation mapping, and lensed quasars. In some systems, the measurement of the time-delay is complicated by the fact that the delayed…
A fast and practical method is described for calculating the microlensed flux variance of an arbitrary source by uncorrelated stars. The required inputs are the mean convergence and shear due to the smoothed potential of the lensing galaxy,…
We search for the long-term variability of the \gamma-ray sky in the energy range E > 1 GeV with 168 weeks of Fermi-LAT data. We perform a full sky blind search for regions with variable flux looking for deviations from uniformity. We bin…
We analyse the dependence of the luminosity function of galaxies in groups (LF) on group dynamical state. We use the Gaussianity of the velocity distribution of galaxy members as a measurement of the dynamical equilibrium of groups…
It is well known that the probability distribution function (PDF) of galaxy density contrast is approximately lognormal; whether the PDF of mass fluctuations derived from weak lensing convergence (kappa_WL) is lognormal is less well…
