Gamma-ray Activity in the Crab Nebula: The Exceptional Flare of April 2011
R. Buehler, J. D. Scargle, R. D. Blandford +18
The Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi satellite observed a gamma-ray flare in the Crab nebula lasting for approximately nine days in April of 2011. The source, which at optic…
Magnetic Field Generation and Particle Energization at Relativistic Shear Boundaries in Collisionless Electron-Positron Plasmas
Edison Liang, Markus Boettcher, Ian Smith
Using 2.5-dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations, we study the kinetic physics of relativistic shear flow boundary in collisionless electron-positron (e+e-) plasmas. We find effi…
Diffusive Acceleration of Particles at Oblique, Relativistic, Magnetohydrodynamic Shocks
Errol J. Summerlin, Matthew G. Baring
Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) at relativistic shocks is expected to be an important acceleration mechanism in a variety of astrophysical objects including extragalactic jets i…
Observations of Energetic High Magnetic Field Pulsars with the Fermi Large Area Telescope
D. Parent, M. Kerr, P. R. Den Hartog +27
We report the detection of gamma-ray pulsations from the high-magnetic-field rotation-powered pulsar PSR J1119-6127 using data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope. The gamma-ray li…
Burst and Persistent Emission Properties during the Recent Active Episode of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1E 1841-045
Lin Lin, Chryssa Kouveliotou, Ersin Gogus +19
Swift/BAT detected the first burst from 1E 1841-045 in May 2010 with intermittent burst activity recorded through at least July 2011. Here we present Swift and Fermi/GBM observatio…
Numerical Modeling of Multi-wavelength Spectra of M87 Core Emission
Guy Hilburn, Edison Liang
Spectral fits to M87 core data from radio to hard x-ray are generated via a specially selected software suite, comprised of the HARM GRMHD accretion disk model and a 2D Monte Carlo…
Constraints on the Synchrotron Shock Model for the Fermi GBM Gamma-Ray Burst 090820A
J. Michael Burgess, Robert D. Preece, Matthew G. Baring +25
Discerning the radiative dissipation mechanism for prompt emission in Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) requires detailed spectroscopic modeling that straddles the peak in the 100 keV…
Fermi/GBM Observations of SGR J0501+4516 Bursts
Lin Lin, Chryssa Kouveliotou, Matthew G. Baring +27
We present our temporal and spectral analyses of 29 bursts from SGR J0501+4516, detected with the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope during the 13…
Time dependent simulations of multiwavelength variability of the blazar Mrk 421 with a Monte Carlo multi-zone code
Xuhui Chen, Giovanni Fossati, Edison Liang +1
(abridged) We present a new time-dependent multi-zone radiative transfer code and its application to study the SSC emission of Mrk 421. The code couples Fokker-Planck and Monte Car…
X-ray Time Lags in TeV Blazars
Xuhui Chen, Giovanni Fossati, Edison Liang +1
We use Monte Carlo/Fokker-Planck simulations to study the X-ray time lags. Our results show that soft lags will be observed as long as the decay of the flare is dominated by radiat…
Detection of High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission during the X-ray flaring activity in GRB100728A
The Fermi Collaboration, L. Piro
We present the simultaneous Swift and Fermi observations of the bright GRB100728A and its afterglow. The early X-ray emission is dominated by a vigorous flaring activity continuing…
Observations of the young supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with the Fermi Large Area Telescope
A. A. Abdo, Fermi LAT Collaboration
We present observations of the young Supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946 with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). We clearly detect a source positionally coincident with the…
Cooling Rates for Relativistic Electrons Undergoing Compton Scattering in Strong Magnetic Fields
Matthew G. Baring, Zorawar Wadiasingh, Peter L. Gonthier
For inner magnetospheric models of hard X-ray and gamma-ray emission in high-field pulsars and magnetars, resonant Compton upscattering is anticipated to be the most efficient proc…
Detection of a spectral break in the extra hard component of GRB 090926A
Fermi-LAT, Fermi-GBM collaborations
We report on the observation of the bright, long gamma-ray burst, GRB 090926A, by the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) instruments on board the \Fermi\…
Similarity of the Optical-IR and Gamma-Ray Time Variability of Fermi Blazars
Ritaban Chatterjee, C. Bailyn, E. W. Bonning +6
We present the time variability properties of a sample of six blazars, AO 0235+164, 3C 273, 3C 279, PKS 1510-089, PKS 2155-304, and 3C 454.3, at optical-IR as well as gamma-ray ene…
