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
