Typical Multi-Wavelength emitters:

  • Radio galaxies/Blazars
  • Pulsars/Pulsar wind nebulae

(e.g. Crab)

  • GRBs

Gamma Ray Bursts as multi-frequency emitters

GRBs were discovered in the 70's as gamma-ray sources, but only in the 90’s the precise positions obtained with the X-ray telescopes (e.g. BeppoSAX) enabled follow-up at optical, IR and radio wavelength, discovering the redshift and their host galaxies It is now possible to follow the time evolution of a GRB in a very wide energy range, and

  • bserve new features as a supernova related with a GRB

AGN : Two main categories

1. Dominated by (mostly) thermal emission from accretion disk - Radio quiet AGN (>~90 %) (normal QSO powered by accretion onto a SM black hole) 1. Dominated by Non-Thermal radiation – Jet dominated AGN (< 10%) When Θ < θblazar Blazar

As of today, about 3,150 blazars are known (Bzcat, edition 4.1, Massaro et al. 2012).

This number is increasing rapidly but it remains a small percentage

  • f the over one million AGN known

Multi-frequency astronomy is now a lot easier than in the past thanks to the many data centers that provide data, software and calibration for most existing observational facilities AND
