Methods for point source analysis in high energy neutrino telescopes
Jim Braun, Jon Dumm, Francesco De Palma +3
Neutrino telescopes are moving steadily toward the goal of detecting astrophysical neutrinos from the most powerful galactic and extragalactic sources. Here we describe analysis me…
Highlights from the VERITAS Blazar Program
Jon Dumm
VERITAS is an array of four 12-m imaging Cherenkov telescopes, sensitive to gamma rays in the energy range from 85 GeV to 30 TeV. VERITAS dedicates roughly 40% of its total observi…
Time-Dependent Point Source Search Methods in High Energy Neutrino Astronomy
Jim Braun, Mike Baker, Jon Dumm +3
We present maximum-likelihood search methods for time-dependent fluxes from point sources, such as flares or periodic emissions. We describe a method for the case when the time dep…
The On-Site Analysis of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Andrea Bulgarelli, Valentina Fioretti, Andrea Zoli +54
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory will be one of the largest ground-based very high-energy gamma-ray observatories. The On-Site Analysis will be the first CTA scienti…
Gamma-ray Signatures of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray Line-of-sight Interactions
Jon Dumm, Lucy Fortson
Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) interact en route to Earth, producing secondary gamma-rays. For the case of high cosmic ray power and weak intergalactic magnetic fields, the…
