Luminosities and fluxes of the expected population of galactic gamma-ray pulsars become foreseeable if physical distributions
at birth and evolutive history are assigned. In this work we estimate the contribution of pulsar fluxes to the gamma-ray background,
which has been measured by the EGRET experiment on board of the CGRO. For pulsar luminositi...

... families of pulsars follow distinct evolutive histories, and this has a di- rect impact on their physical properties. Furthemore, physical mechanisms ruling over the gamma-ray emission are peculiar of each class. Fig. (4) shows a dia- gram period−magnetic field for young isolated, binaries and millisecond pulsars. Magnetars are characterized by very high magnetic fields, typically 10 14 − 10 16 ...

The study of pulsar bow-shocks is one of the most promising ways towards the understanding of the interactions between neutron stars relativistic winds and their environment. These objects are best resolved as Hα nebulae but velocity-driven features are seen also in the radio and X-ray bands and represent interesting targets for future gamma-rays t...
The Canadian Geophysical Long Baseline Interferometer (CGLBI) Recording System has been developed at the University of Toronto for use in Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) systems. A major departure from current VLBI practice is the inclusion of delay and fringe corrections during recording by means of a ‘wavefront clock’ at each station. Th...
Progress in high-energy gamma-ray science has been dramatic since the launch of INTEGRAL, AGILE and FERMI. These instruments, however, are not optimized for observations in the medium-energy (~0.3< Egamma < ~200 MeV) regime where many astrophysical objects exhibit unique, transitory behavior, such as spectral breaks, bursts, and flares. We outline...
We present a review of the current status and future prospects of the field of high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics in the 30 MeV to 30 GeV regime. Scientific studies in this energy range are carried out by satellite-based gamma-ray instruments. We have now entered a new era in space-based gamma-ray astrophysics with the operation of AGILE and the Fe...
The Advanced Robotic Agile Guest Observatory (ARAGO) is a project currently under phase A study to build a light robotic observatory. It is planned to build the 1m aperture telescope in Silicon Carbide, allowing to reach masses of less than 100kg, i.e. 200 to 300 kg including the optical corrector, filters, and instrumentation. The control, as well...
