Search for Gamma-ray Emission from X-ray Selected Seyfert Galaxies with Fermi-LAT

LAT Collaboration

We report on a systematic investigation of the gamma-ray properties of 120 hard X-ray-selected Seyfert galaxies classified as `radio-quiet' objects, utilizing the three-year accumu…

Detection of High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission during the X-ray flaring activity in GRB100728A

The Fermi Collaboration, L. Piro

We present the simultaneous Swift and Fermi observations of the bright GRB100728A and its afterglow. The early X-ray emission is dominated by a vigorous flaring activity continuing…

The Peculiar Status of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Quest for its Violation

Germano D'Abramo

Even though the second law of thermodynamics holds the supreme position among the laws of nature, as stated by many distinguished scientists, notably Eddington and Einstein, its po…
