Gamma rays from the quasar PKS 1441+25: story of an escape

A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +103

Outbursts from gamma-ray quasars provide insights on the relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei and constraints on the diffuse radiation fields that fill the Universe. The det…

A recent change in the optical and γ-ray polarization of the Crab nebula and pulsar

Paul Moran, Gillian Kyne, Christian Gouiffes +5

We report on observations of the polarization of optical and γ-ray photons from the Crab nebula and pulsar system using the Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP), the Hubbl…

VLT polarimetry observations of PSR B0656+14

R. P. Mignani, P. Moran, A Shearer +5

Optical polarisation measurements are key tests for different models of the pulsar magnetosphere. Furthermore, comparing the relative orientation of the phase-averaged linear polar…

VERITAS detection of -ray flaring activity from the BL Lac object 1ES 1727+502 during bright moonlight observations

S. Archambault, A. Archer, M. Beilicke +80

During moonlit nights, observations with ground-based Cherenkov telescopes at very high energies (VHE, GeV) are constrained since the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in the te…
