    Gamma rays from Young Stellar Objects
    In the last years star-forming regions and massive protostars have been suggested to be gamma-ray emitters. Isolated massive protostars present powerful...

    Gamma-ray bursts as a tool to unveil obscured star-forming galaxies
    Long Gamma-Ray Bursts are flashes of high-energy radiation and are linked to the death of massive stars. I will first summarize the main aspects of GRB...

    Gamma-ray flaring activity of NGC1275 in 2016-2017 measured by MAGIC
    We report on the detection of flaring activity from the Fanaroff-Riley I radio galaxy NGC 1275 in very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma rays with the Major...

    Gas and dust properties in the afterglow spectra of GRB 050730
    We present early WHT ISIS optical spectroscopy of the afterglow of gamma-ray burst GRB 050730. The spectrum shows a DLA system with the highest measured...
