Coincident detection significance in multimessenger astronomy

Gregory Ashton, Eric Burns, Tito Dal Canton +6

We derive a Bayesian criterion for assessing whether signals observed in two separate data sets originate from a common source. The Bayes factor for a common vs. unrelated origin o…

Glimpses of the past activity of Sgr A* inferred from X-ray echoes in Sgr C

Dimitri Chuard, Régis Terrier, Andrea Goldwurm +6

For a decade now, evidence has accumulated that giant molecular clouds located within the central molecular zone of our Galaxy reflect X-rays coming from past outbursts of the supe…

High-energy neutrinos from Galactic superbubbles

K. J. Andersen, M. Kachelriess, D. V. Semikoz

We study the propagation of cosmic rays generated by sources residing inside superbubbles. We show that the enhanced magnetic field in the bubble wall leads to an increase of the i…

On the Progenitor of Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1095

On 2017 August 17 the merger of two compact objects with masses consistent with two neutron stars was discovered through gravitational-wave (GW170817), gamma-ray (GRB 170817A), and…

Exploring the Variability of the Flat Spectrum Radio Source 1633+382. I. Phenomenology of the Light Curves

Juan-Carlos Algaba, Sang-Sung Lee, Dae-Won Kim +15

We present multi-frequency simultaneous VLBI radio observations of the flat spectrum radio quasar 1633+382 (4C~38.41) as part of the interferometric monitoring of gamma-ray bright…

TeV gamma-ray observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 with H.E.S.S

H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, H. Abdalla +250

We search for high-energy gamma-ray emission from the binary neutron star merger GW170817 with the H.E.S.S. Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes. The observations presented here have b…
