One of the subjects that has been most studied
over the last decade from a quantum-gravity perspective
concerns the implications of Planck-scale effects on the
propagation of high-energy particles.
From the crude models of the end of the 1990s
the literature gradually evolved to more detailed and
robust pictures, which I briefly describe. I also stress
the relevance of these studies for...

I will discuss models of GRB in the light of recent Fermi and Swift data, and the implications
of these for GRB as potential gravitational wave and ultra-high energy neutrino sources.

I will review the observational properties of Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters and Anomaolous X-ray Pulsars and discuss them in the context of the magnetar model. I will also discuss the possibility of detecting GW and high energy neutrinos from these sources.
