The structure of TeV-bright shell-type supernova remnants

Chuyuan Yang, Siming Liu, Jun Fang +1

Aims. Two-dimensional MHD simulations are used to model the emission properties of TeV-bright shell-type supernova remnants (SNRs) and to explore their nature. Methods. In the lept…

Magnetar Giant Flares in Multipolar Magnetic Fields --- II. Flux Rope Eruptions With Current Sheets

Lei Huang, Cong Yu

We propose a physical mechanism to explain giant flares and radio afterglows in terms of a magnetospheric model containing both a helically twisted flux rope and a current sheet (C…

A New Approach to Constrain Black Hole Spins in Active Galaxies Using Optical Reverberation Mapping

Jian-Min Wang, Pu Du, Yan-Rong Li +3

A tight relation between the size of the broad-line region (BLR) and optical luminosity has been established in about 50 active galactic nuclei studied through reverberation mappin…

Supermassive black holes with high accretion rates in active galactic nuclei: II. the most luminous standard candles in the Universe

Jian-Min Wang, Pu Du, Chen Hu +7

This is the second in a series of papers reporting on a large reverberation mapping (RM) campaign to measure black hole (BH) mass in high accretion rate active galactic nuclei (AGN…

Modeling the spectral-energy-distribution of 3C 454.3 in a "flat" broad-line-region scenario

Maichang Lei, Jiancheng Wang

The broad-line region (BLR) of flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) could have a "flat" geometrical structure to allow GeV gamma-ray photons escape, to produce the observed gamma-ra…

Self-gravity in neutrino-dominated accretion disks

Tong Liu, Xiao-Fei Yu, Wei-Min Gu +1

We present the effects of the self-gravity on the vertical structure and neutrino luminosity of the neutrino-dominated accretion disks in cylindrical coordinates. It is found that…

Implications of Fermi-LAT observations on the origin of IceCube neutrinos

Bin Wang, Xiao-Hong Zhao, Zhuo Li

The IceCube (IC) collaboration recently reported the detection of TeV-PeV extraterrestrial neutrinos whose origin is yet unknown. By the photon-neutrino connection in and …

Rapid high-amplitude gamma-ray variability in Blazar PKS 0507+17

N. H. Liao, J. M Bai

We report a detailed analysis of -ray data of 2FGL J0509.9+1802 observed by the Large Area Telescope on board {\it Fermi} satellite, especially focusing on April 2013 when extra…

Intrinsic -ray luminosity, black hole mass, jet and accretion in Fermi blazars

Dingrong Xiong, Xiong Zhang

We have analyzed a large sample of clean blazars detected by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). Using literature and calculation, we obtained intrinsic -ray luminosity excluding…

Variability of the giant X-ray bump in GRB 121027A and possible origin

Shu-Jin Hou, He Gao, Tong Liu +7

The particular giant X-ray bump of GRB 121027A triggered by \emph{Swift} is quite different from the typical X-ray flares in gamma-ray bursts. There exhibit four parts of the obser…

The dark nature of GRB 130528A and its host galaxy

S. Jeong, A. J. Castro-Tirado, M. Bremer +18

We study the dark nature of GRB 130528A through multi-wavelength observations and conclude that the main reason for the optical darkness is local extinction inside of the host gala…

An MHD Model For Magnetar Giant Flares

Y. Meng, J. Lin, L. Zhang +3

Giant flares on soft gamma-ray repeaters that are thought to take place on magnetars release enormous energy in a short time interval. Their power can be explained by catastrophic…

The hadronic origin of hard gamma-ray spectrum from blazar 1ES 1101-232

Gang Cao, Jiancheng Wang

The very hard -ray spectrum from distant blazars challenges the traditional synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) model, which may indicate that there is the contribution of an additio…

Magnetar Giant Flares in Multipolar Magnetic Fields --- I. Fully and Partially Open Eruptions of Flux Ropes

Lei Huang, Cong Yu

We propose a catastrophic eruption model for magnetar's enormous energy release during giant flares, in which a toroidal and helically twisted flux rope is embedded within a force-…

Multi-wavelength variability properties of Fermi blazar S5 0716+714

N. H. Liao, J. M. Bai, H. T. Liu +3

S5 0716+714 is a typical BL Lacertae object. In this paper we present the analysis and results of long term simultaneous observations in the radio, near-infrared, optical, X-ray an…
