In search of progenitors for supernova-less GRBs 060505 and 060614: re-examination of their afterglows

D. Xu, R. L. C. Starling, J. P. U. Fynbo +6

GRB060505 and GRB060614 are nearby long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) without accompanying supernovae (SNe) down to very strict limits. They thereby challenge the conventional…

Steady-State Solutions in Nonlinear Diffusive Shock Acceleration

B. Reville, J. G. Kirk, P. Duffy

Stationary solutions to the equations of non-linear diffusive shock acceleration play a fundamental role in the theory of cosmic-ray acceleration. Their existence usually requires…

Particle-acceleration timescales in TeV blazar flares

Joni Tammi, Peter Duffy

Observations of minute-scale flares in TeV Blazars place constraints on particle acceleration mechanisms in those objects. The implications for a variety of radiation mechanisms ha…

A new activity phase of the blazar 3C 454.3. Multifrequency observations by the WEBT and XMM-Newton in 2007-2008

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, V. M. Larionov +2

We present and analyse the WEBT multifrequency observations of 3C 454.3 in the 2007-2008 observing season, including XMM-Newton observations and near-IR spectroscopic monitoring, a…
