Accretion geometry of the black-hole binary Cygnus X-1 from X-ray polarimetry
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Friis +13
Black-hole binary (BHB) systems comprise a stellar-mass black hole and a closely orbiting companion star. Matter is transferred from the companion to the black hole, forming an acc…
In-flight performance of the Canadian Astro-H Metrology System
Luigi C. Gallo, Alexander Koujelev, Stephane Gagnon +11
The Canadian Astro-H Metrology System (CAMS) on the Hitomi X-ray satellite is a laser alignment system that measures the lateral displacement (X/Y) of the extensible optical bench…
The PoGO+ view on Crab off-pulse hard X-ray polarisation
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Friis +11
The linear polarisation fraction and angle of the hard X-ray emission from the Crab provide unique insight into high energy radiation mechanisms, complementing the usual imaging, t…
Shedding new light on the Crab with polarized X-rays
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Friis +13
Strong magnetic fields, synchrotron emission, and Compton scattering are omnipresent in compact celestial X-ray sources. Emissions in the X-ray energy band are consequently expecte…
The ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Satellite
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +250
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions developed by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), with a planne…
Inferred cosmic-ray spectrum from -LAT -ray observations of the Earth's limb
LAT Collaboration, M. Ackermann, M. Ajello +150
Recent accurate measurements of cosmic-ray (CR) species by ATIC-2, CREAM, and PAMELA reveal an unexpected hardening in the proton and He spectra above a few hundred GeV, a gradual…
Fermi-LAT Observations of the Gamma-ray Burst GRB 130427A
LAT collaboration, GBM collaboration
The observations of the exceptionally bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A by the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope provide constraints on the nature…
The First Pulse of the Extremely Bright GRB 130427A: A Test Lab for Synchrotron Shocks
R. Preece, J. Michael Burgess, A. von Kienlin +156
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A is one of the most energetic GRBs ever observed. The initial pulse up to 2.5 s is possibly the brightest well-isolated pulse observed to date. A fine…
The Fermi All-sky Variability Analysis: A list of flaring gamma-ray sources and the search for transients in our Galaxy
LAT Collaboration
In this paper we present the Fermi All-sky Variability Analysis (FAVA), a tool to systematically study the variability of the gamma-ray sky measured by the Large Area Telescope (LA…
High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission From Solar Flares: Summary of Fermi LAT Detections and Analysis of Two M-Class Flares
LAT collaboration
We present the detections of 19 solar flares detected in high-energy gamma rays (above 100 MeV) with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) during its first four years of operation.…
The First Fermi LAT Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog
LAT Collaboration
In three years of observations since the beginning of nominal science operations in August 2008, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope has obs…
