In this talk we will present our work on the study of explosive astronomical
transients, such as gamma-ray burst and peculiar supernovae. These events mark
the dramatic end of the life of massive stars, or the merger of two compact
objects. As observational astronomers our work is based on data obtained from
ground- and space-based observatories at all wavelengths, from radio to gamma-
rays. In the last years the study of these sources also includes their study
through gravitational wave or neutrino emission, which combined results in
what we now call multi-messenger astronomy. We will present several studies of
particularly interesting sources and the host galaxy environments in which
they occur.
Finally, we will also introduce some of the instrumentation projects in which
he have had a leading role and that will help in our future understanding of
these peculiar sources.
