The Cosmic Evolution of Fermi BL Lacertae Objects

M. Ajello, R. W. Romani, D. Gasparrini +14

Fermi has provided the largest sample of gamma-ray selected blazars to date. In this work we use a uniformly selected set of 211 BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects detected by it Fermi d…

Discovery of a Cosmological, Relativistic Outburst via its Rapidly Fading Optical Emission

S. Bradley Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni, Assaf Horesh +26

We report the discovery by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) of the transient source PTF11agg, which is distinguished by three primary characteristics: (1) bright, rapidly fading…

The Imprint of The Extragalactic Background Light in the Gamma-Ray Spectra of Blazars

LAT Collaboration

The light emitted by stars and accreting compact objects through the history of the Universe is encoded in the intensity of the extragalactic background light (EBL). Knowledge of t…

The discovery of high power - high synchrotron peak blazars

P. Padovani, P. Giommi, A. Rau

We study the quasi-simultaneous near-IR, optical, UV, and X-ray photometry of eleven gamma-ray selected blazars for which redshift estimates larger than 1.2 have been recently prov…

BL Lacertae objects beyond redshift 1.3 - UV-to-NIR photometry and photometric redshift for Fermi/LAT blazars

Arne Rau, P. Schady, J. Greiner +17

Observations of the gamma-ray sky with Fermi led to significant advances towards understanding blazars, the most extreme class of Active Galactic Nuclei. A large fraction of the po…

Gamma-Ray Bursts: The multiwavelength context in 2015 and beyond

Jochen Greiner, Arne Rau

We collect information as complete as possible about the upcoming telescopes and facilities relevant to gamma-ray bursts, both in the electromagnetic bands as well as for non-elect…
