Fermi-LAT discovery of GeV gamma-ray emission from the young supernova remnant Cassiopeia A.
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
We report on the first detection of GeV high-energy gamma-ray emission from a young supernova remnant (SNR) with the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. These observations reveal a source with ...
The 2010 very high energy γ-ray flare and 10 years of multi-wavelength observations of M 87
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
The giant radio galaxy M 87 with its proximity (16 Mpc), famous jet, and very massive black hole ((3 – 6) × 109 M☉) provides a unique opportunity to investigate the origin of very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray ...
Cloud ablation by a relativistic jet and the extended flare in CTA 102 in 2016 and 2017
(IOP, 2017)
In late 2016 and early 2017, the flat spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 exhibited a very strong and long-lasting
outburst. The event can be described by a roughly two-month long increase of the baseline flux in the monitored
energy ...
Probing the extent of the non-thermal emission from the Vela X region at TeV energies with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2012)
Context. Vela X is a region of extended radio emission in the western part of the Vela constellation: one of the nearest pulsar wind nebulae, and associated with the energetic Vela pulsar (PSR B0833-45). Extended ...
Pulsed gamma rays from the original millisecond and black widow pulsars: a case for caustic radio emission?
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
We report the detection of pulsed gamma-ray emission from the fast millisecond pulsars (MSPs) B1937+21 (also known as J1939+2134) and B1957+20 (J1959+2048) using 18 months of survey data recorded by the Fermi Large Area ...
HESS J1640-465: an exceptionally luminous TeV γ-ray supernova remnant
(Oxford Univ Press, 2014)
The results of follow-up observations of the TeV γ-ray source HESS J1640−465 from 2004 to 2011 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) are reported in this work. The spectrum is well described by an exponential ...
TeV γ-ray observations of the young synchrotron-dominated SNRs G1.9+0.3 and G330.2+1.0 with H.E.S.S.
(Oxford Univ Press, 2014)
The nonthermal
nature of the Xray
emission from the shelltype
supernova remnants (SNRs)
G1.9+0.3 and G330.2+1.0 is an indication of intense particle acceleration in the shock fronts
of both objects. This suggests that ...
Long-term monitoring of PKS2155-304 with ATOM and H.E.S.S.: investigation of optical/y-ray correlations in different spectral states
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
In this paper we report on the analysis of all the available optical and very high-energy
y-ray (>200 GeV) data for the BL Lac object PKS 2155-304,
collected simultaneously with the ATOM and H.E.S.S. telescopes from ...
Modeling phase-aligned gamma-ray and radio millisecond pulsar light curves
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
Since the discovery of the first eight gamma-ray millisecond pulsars (MSPs) by the Fermi Large Area Telescope, this population has been steadily expanding. Four of the more recent detections, PSR J0034–0534, PSR J1939+2134 ...
Gamma-gamma absorption in the γ-ray binary system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883
(IOP, 2017)
The observed TeV light curve from the γ-ray binary PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 shows a decrease in the flux at periastron that has not been fully explained by emission mechanisms alone. This observed decrease can, however, be ...
