Extremely rapid x-ray flares of tev blazars in the rxte era
S. F. Zhu, Y. Q. Xue, W. N. Brandt +2
Rapid flares from blazars in very high energy (VHE) -rays challenge the common understanding of jets of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The same population of ultra-relativistic…
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…
Extended gamma-ray sources around pulsars constrain the origin of the positron flux at Earth
A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +113
The unexpectedly high flux of cosmic ray positrons detected at Earth may originate from nearby astrophysical sources, dark matter, or unknown processes of cosmic-ray secondary prod…
Multimessenger tests of the weak equivalence principle from GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterparts
Jun-Jie Wei, Bin-Bin Zhang, Xue-Feng Wu +6
The coincident detection of a gravitational-wave (GW) event GW170817 with electromagnetic (EM) signals (e.g., a short gamma-ray burst SGRB 170817A or a macronova) from a binary neu…
GW170608: Observation of a 19-solar-mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1101
On June 8, 2017 at 02:01:16.49 UTC, a gravitational-wave signal from the merger of two stellar-mass black holes was observed by the two Advanced LIGO detectors with a network signa…
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…
