Multiwavelength Probes of the Environs of Relativistic Shocks in Blazar Jets
Matthew G. Baring, Markus Boettcher, Errol J. Summerlin
Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) at relativistic shocks is likely to be an important acceleration mechanism in various astrophysical jet sources, including radio-loud AGN. An imp…
Fermi-LAT Observations of the Gamma-ray Burst GRB 130427A
LAT collaboration, GBM collaboration
The observations of the exceptionally bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A by the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope provide constraints on the nature…
The First Pulse of the Extremely Bright GRB 130427A: A Test Lab for Synchrotron Shocks
R. Preece, J. Michael Burgess, A. von Kienlin +156
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A is one of the most energetic GRBs ever observed. The initial pulse up to 2.5 s is possibly the brightest well-isolated pulse observed to date. A fine…
Magnetic Field Amplification and Blazar Flares
Xuhui Chen, Ritaban Chatterjee, Giovanni Fossati +1
Recent multiwavelength observations of PKS 0208-512 by SMARTS, Fermi, and Swift revealed that gamma-ray and optical light curves of this flat spectrum radio quasars are highly corr…
PSR J2021+4026 in the Gamma Cygni region: the first variable gamma-ray pulsar seen by the Fermi LAT
LAT collaboration
Long-term monitoring of PSR J2021+4026 in the heart of the Cygnus region with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) unveiled a sudden decrease in flux above 100 MeV over a time scal…
The Second Fermi Large Area Telescope Catalog of Gamma-ray Pulsars
LAT collaboration
This catalog summarizes 117 high-confidence > 0.1 GeV gamma-ray pulsar detections using three years of data acquired by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. Half…
Time-resolved Analysis of Fermi GRBs with Fast and Slow-Cooled Synchrotron Photon Models
J. M. Burgess, R. D. Preece, V. Connaughton +20
Time-resolved spectroscopy is performed on eight bright, long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) dominated by single emission pulses that were observed with the {\it Fermi Gamma-ray Space Tel…
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…
Relativistic Positron-Electron-Ion Shear Flows and Application to Gamma-Ray Bursts
Edison Liang, Wen Fu, Markus Boettcher +2
We present Particle-in-Cell simulation results of relativistic shear flows for hybrid positron-electron-ion plasmas and compare to those for pure e+e- and pure e-ion plasmas. Among…
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…
