Possible galactic sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays and a strategy for their detection via gravitational lensing

Alexander Kusenko, Vadim A. Kuzmin

If decays of superheavy relic particles in the galactic halo are responsible for ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays, these particles must be clustered to account for small-scale anisotro…

Spectral distortion of cosmic background radiation by scattering on hot electrons. Exact calculations

A. D. Dolgov, S. H. Hansen, S. Pastor +1

The spectral distortion of the cosmic background radiation produced by the inverse Compton scattering on hot electrons in clusters of galaxies (thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect) is…

An Off-line Scan of the BATSE Daily Records and a Large Uniform Sample of Gamma-Ray Bursts

Boris E. Stern, Yana Tikhomirova, Dmitrii Kompaneets +2

During a scan of the archival BATSE daily records covering the entire 9.1 years (TJD 8369-11690) of the BATSE operation, 3906 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been detected. 2068 of th…

Bizarre Hard X-ray Outbursts of Cygnus X-1

Boris E. Stern, Andrei M. Beloborodov, Juri Poutanen

A very high activity of Cygnus X-1 on 1999 April 19-21 was recorded by BATSE Large Area Detectors onboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory. The peak luminosity was one order of ma…

Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays: propagation in the Galaxy and anisotropy

O. E. Kalashev, V. A. Kuzmin, D. V. Semikoz

We considered propagation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) through the galaxy. We investigated models with sources of UHECR distributed in the same way as Cold Dark Matter…

Constraints on diffuse neutrino background from primordial black holes

E. V. Bugaev, K. V. Konishchev

We calculated the energy spectra and the fluxes of electron neutrino emitted in the process of evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs) in the early universe. It was assumed th…

What if Dark matter is Bosonic and self-interacting

Antonio Riotto, Igor Tkachev

Recently the problem of singular galactic cores and over-abundant formation of dwarf galaxies, inherent to the standard cold dark matter model, had attracted a great deal of attent…

Neutrino astronomy with the MACRO detector

M. Ambrosio

High energy gamma ray astronomy is now a well established field and several sources have been discovered in the region from a few GeV up to several TeV. If sources involving hadron…

Hidden source of high-energy neutrinos in collapsing galactic nucleus

V. S. Berezinsky, V. I. Dokuchaev

We propose the model of a short-lived very powerful source of high energy neutrinos. It is formed as a result of the dynamical evolution of a galactic nucleus prior to its collapse…

Statistics of clustering of ultra-high energy cosmic rays and the number of their sources

S. L. Dubovsky, P. G. Tinyakov, I. I. Tkachev

Observation of clustering of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) suggests that they are emitted by compact sources. Assuming small deflection of UHECR during the propagation, the…
