The Sleeping Monster: NuSTAR observations of SGR 1806-20, 11 years after the Giant Flare

George Younes, Matthew G. Baring, Chryssa Kouveliotou +5

We report the analysis of 5 NuSTAR observations of SGR 1806-20 spread over a year from April 2015 to April 2016, more than 11 years following its Giant Flare (GF) of 2004. The sour…

The Effect of Pair Cascades on the High-Energy Spectral Cutoff in Gamma-Ray Bursts

Ramandeep Gill, Jonathan Granot

The highly luminous and variable prompt emission in Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) arises in an ultra-relativistic outflow. The exact underlying radiative mechanism shaping its non-therma…

The High Frequency Radio Emission of the Galactic Center Magnetar SGR J1745-29 During a Transitional Period

Joseph D. Gelfand, Scott Ransom, Chryssa Kouveliotou +6

The origin of the high-frequency radio emission detected from several magnetars is poorly understood. In this paper, we report the ~40 GHz properties of SGR J1745-29 as measured us…

Toward understanding the physical underpinnings of spatial and spectral morphologies of pulsar wind nebulae

Oleg Kargaltsev, Noel Klingler, Sarah Chastain +1

We discuss the observational properties of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) linking them to the injected (at the termination shock) electron spectral energy distribution and parameters o…

Old but still warm: Far-UV detection of PSR B0950+08

G. G. Pavlov, B. Rangelov, O. Kargaltsev +3

We report on a Hubble Space Telescope detection of the nearby, old pulsar B0950+08 ( pc, spin-down age 17.5 Myr) in two far-ultraviolet (FUV) bands. We measured the me…

Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron star merger

E. Pian, P. D'Avanzo, S. Benetti +81

The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable phenomena: a short burst of gamma-rays, a gravitational wave signal, and a transient optical/nea…
