Detection of Gamma Rays From a Starburst Galaxy

The HESS Collaboration, F. Acero

Starburst galaxies exhibit in their central regions a highly increased rate of supernovae, the remnants of which are thought to accelerate energetic cosmic rays up to energies of ~…

New unidentified H.E.S.S. Galactic sources

O. Tibolla, R. C. G. Chaves, O. de Jager +4

H.E.S.S. is one of the most sensitive instruments in the very high energy (VHE; > 100 GeV) gamma-ray domain and has revealed many new sources along the Galactic Plane. After the su…

Unidentified Gamma-Ray Sources as Ancient Pulsar Wind Nebulae

O. C. de Jager, S. E. S. Ferreira, A. Djannati-Ataï +6

In this paper we explore the evolution of a PWN while the pulsar is spinning down. An MHD approach is used to simulate the evolution of a composite remnant. Particular attention is…

Measurement of the Cosmic Ray e+ plus e- spectrum from 20 GeV to 1 TeV with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

LAT Collaboration

Designed as a high-sensitivity gamma-ray observatory, the Fermi Large Area Telescope is also an electron detector with a large acceptance exceeding 2m^2 sr at 300 GeV. Building on…

Identifying Nearby UHECR Accelerators using UHE (and VHE) Photons

A. M. Taylor, J. A. Hinton, P. Blasi +1

Ultra-high energy photons (UHE, E > 10^19 eV) are inevitably produced during the propagation of 10^20 eV protons in extragalactic space. Their short interaction lengths (<20 Mpc) a…

Looking Into the Fireball: ROTSE-III and Swift Observations of Early GRB Afterglows

E. S. Rykoff, F. Aharonian, C. W. Akerlof +21

We report on a complete set of early optical afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) obtained with the ROTSE-III telescope network from March 2005 through June 2007. This set is comp…
