We present deep optical and X-ray follow-up observations of the bright unassociated Fermi-LAT gammaray source 1FGL J1311.7-3429. The source was already known as an unidentified EGRET source (3EG J1314-3431, EGR J1314-3417), hence its nature has remained uncertain for the past two decades. For the putative counterpart, we detected a quasi-sinusoidal optical modulation of delta_msim2 mag with a period of ~1.5 hr in the Rc, r and g bands. Moreover, we found that the amplitude of the modulation and peak intensity changed by > 1 mag and 0.5 mag respectively, over our total six nights of observations from 2012 March and May. Combined with Swif t UVOT data, the optical-UV spectrum is consistent with a blackbody temperature, kT sim1 eV, and the emission volume radius Rbbsim 1.5x10^4 km. In contrast, deep Suzaku observations conducted in 2009 and 2011 revealed strong X-ray flares with a lightcurve characterized with a power spectrum density of P(f) propto f^(-2) but the folded X-ray light curves suggest an orbital modulation also in X-rays. Together with the non-detection of a radio counterpart, and significant curved spectrum and non-detection of variability in gamma-rays, the source may be the second radio-quiet gamma-ray emitting milli-second pulsar candidate after 1FGL J2339.7-0531, although the origin of flaring X-ray and optical variability remains an open question.
We report on the results of X-ray and radio follow-up observations of two GeV gamma-ray sources 2FGL J0923.5+1508 and 2FGL J1502.1+5548, selected as candidates for high-redshift blazars from unassociated sources in the {it Fermi} Large Area Telescope
The recently discovered gamma-ray binary 1FGL J1018.6-5856 has a proposed optical/near-infrared (OIR) counterpart 2MASS 10185560-5856459. We present Stromgren photometry of this star to investigate its photometric variability and measure the reddenin
We present an optical, X-ray, and $gamma$-ray study of 1SXPS J042749.2-670434, an eclipsing X-ray binary which has an associated $gamma$-ray counterpart, 4FGL J0427.8-6704. This association has led to the source being classified as a transitional mil
Context. The discovery of the unique source HESS J1507-622 in the very high energy (VHE) range (100 GeV-100 TeV) opened new possibilities to study the parent population of ultra-relativistic particles found in astrophysical sources and underlined the
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on Fermi has detected ~150 gamma-ray pulsars, about a third of which were discovered in blind searches of the $gamma$-ray data. Because the angular resolution of the LAT is relatively poor and blind searches for pulsars
