    GRB 070610: Flares from a peculiar Galactic source
    The majority of bright gamma-ray transients that we observe in the sky, are produced by extragalactic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, we know that there are...

    GRB 080514B: the first high-energy AGILE burst with optical/NIR afterglow
    The AGILE gamma-ray burst GRB 080514B was the first detected to have emission at energies above 30 MeV and an optical/NIR afterglow. Here we summarize the main...

    Multi-wavelength monitoring of GRS 1915+105
    Since its discovery in 1992, the superluminal X-ray transient GRS 1915+105 has been extensively observed in an attempt to understand its behaviour. We present...
