    GRB 101225A: a stellar murder on Christmas Day
    Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most dramatic examples of massive stellar deaths, usually associated with supernovae ( Woosley et al. 2006). They release...

    H1517+656: The Birth of a BL Lacertae Object?
    H1517+656 is an unusual source, even for a BL Lac object. It is one of the most luminous BL Lac objects known, with extreme emission properties at radio...

    Insights into the emission of the blazar 1ES 1011+496 through unprecedented broadband observations during 2011 and 2012
    Context. 1ES 1011+496 (z = 0.212) was discovered in very high-energy (VHE, E> 100 GeV) γ rays with MAGIC in 2007. The absence of simultaneous data at lower...

    Interactions between large-scale radio structures and gas in a sample of optically selected type 2 quasars
    Context. The role of radio mode feedback in non radio-loud quasars needs to be explored in depth to determine its true importance. Its effects can be identified...
