White Paper for Blazar Observations with a GEMS-like X-ray Polarimetry Mission
Henric Krawczynski, Lorella Angelini, Matthew Baring +27
In this document, we describe the scientific potential of blazar observations with a X-ray polarimetry mission like GEMS (Gravity and Extreme Magnetism SMEX). We describe five blaz…
The Contrasting Nature of Gamma-Ray/Optical Variability in the Blazar PKS 0208-512 During Successive Outbursts
Ritaban Chatterjee, G. Fossati, C. M. Urry +6
The Yale/SMARTS optical-near-IR monitoring program has followed the variations in emission of the Fermi-LAT monitored blazars in the southern sky with closely spaced observations s…
Detection of the Characteristic Pion-Decay Signature in Supernova Remnants
LAT collaboration, M. Ackermann, M. Ajello +167
Cosmic rays are particles (mostly protons) accelerated to relativistic speeds. Despite wide agreement that supernova remnants (SNRs) are the sources of galactic cosmic rays, unequi…
X-ray Polarization from Black Holes: GEMS Scientific White Paper
Jeremy Schnittman, Lorella Angelini, Matthew Baring +27
We present here a summary of the scientific goals behind the Gravity and Extreme Magnetism SMEX (GEMS) X-ray polarimetry mission's black hole (BH) observing program. The primary ta…
A Universal Scaling for the Energetics of Relativistic Jets From Black Hole Systems
Rodrigo S. Nemmen, Markos Georganopoulos, Sylvain Guiriec +3
Black holes generate collimated, relativistic jets which have been observed in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), microquasars, and at the center of some galaxies (active galactic nuclei; AG…
Multiwavelength observations of GRB 110731A: GeV emission from onset to afterglow
LAT Collaboration, GBM Collaboration, Swift Collaboration +2
We report on the multiwavelength observations of the bright, long gamma-ray burst \GRB, by the \Fermi and \Swift observatories, and by the MOA and GROND optical telescopes. The ana…
