The long unexplored fast optical sky is now accessible thanks to new large ground-based telescopes and new generation instruments. Studying it may lead to new discoveries, but it is also challenging due to optical pollution.
In this talk, I will present our preliminary results obtained from an automated search and characterisation of mysterious Fast (millisecond) Optical Bursts (FOBs) in over...
The AGILE space mission, with its unique features (two coaligned imaging X- and gamma-ray detectors, a non-imaging calorimeter, and
the observing capability to cover about 80% if the sky in 7 minutes), participated to all the recent campaign searches for electromagnetic
(e.m.) counterparts of multi messenger events (gravitational waves and neutrinos), but also to high-energy counterparts...
INAF manages three single-dish radio telescopes: SRT, Medicina, Noto. The science of pulsars and Fast Radio Bursts constitutes key projects in radio astronomy. SRT already plays a key role in various projects, such as the EPTA, which uses radio pulsar data to search for gravitational waves. Currently-available instrumentation at SRT severely limits its possible scientific return. At Medicina...
The Northern Cross is a T-shaped radio interferometer located at the Medicina station, near Bologna, operating at 408 MHz. It has been undergoing a significant refurbishment/restoration over the last few years, allowing observations of fast radio bursts (FRBs, a project named "Northern Cross FRB project"). In this talk I will review the status of the project (past and current observing...
