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 observe new features as a supernova related with a GRB HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE KECK VERY LARGE TELESCOPE Observations of GRB-SN 980425/1998bw VERY LARGE ARRAY

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 < θ blazar 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 of the over one million AGN known Flesch, E.

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
