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…

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…
