A generic method to constrain the dark matter model parameters from Fermi observations of dwarf spheroids

Yue-Lin Sming Tsai, Qiang Yuan, Xiaoyuan Huang

Observation of gamma-rays from dwarf galaxies is an effective way to search for particle dark matter. Using 4-year data of Fermi-LAT observations on a series of Milky Way satellite…

On the Hadronic Gamma-ray Emission from Tycho's Supernova Remnant

Xiao Zhang, Yang Chen, Hui Li +1

Hadronic gamma-ray emission from supernova remnants (SNRs) is an important tool to test shock acceleration of cosmic ray protons. Tycho is one of nearly a dozen Galactic SNRs which…

GRB 110721A: photosphere "death line" and the physical origin of the GRB "Band" function

Bing Zhang, Rui-Jing Lu, En-Wei Liang +1

The prompt emission spectra of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) usually have a dominant component that is well described by a phenomenological "Band" function. The physical origin of this s…
