Quiescent Magnetar Emission: Resonant Compton Upscattering
Matthew G. Baring
A principal candidate for quiescent non-thermal gamma-ray emission from magnetars is resonant inverse Compton scattering in the strong fields of their magnetospheres. This paper ou…
Identifying the Mysterious EGRET Sources: Signatures of Polar Cap Pulsar Models
Matthew G. Baring
The advent of the next generation of gamma-ray experiments, led by GLAST, AGILE, INTEGRAL and a host of atmospheric Čerenkov telescopes coming on line in the next few years, will e…
Acceleration at Relativistic Shocks in Gamma-Ray Bursts
Matthew G. Baring
Most recent extragalactic models of gamma-ray bursts consider the expansion of a relativistic blast wave, emanating from a solar-mass type progenitor, into the surrounding interste…
Photon Attenuation and Pair Creation in Highly-Magnetized Pulsars
Matthew G. Baring, Alice K. Harding
Developments over the last couple of years have supported the interpretation that anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) possess unusually high magnetic fie…
The Production of Anomalous Cosmic Rays by the Solar Wind Termination Shock
Frank C. Jones, Matthew G. Baring, Donald C. Ellison
We have modeled the injection and acceleration of pickup ions at the solar wind termination shock and investigated the parameters needed to produce the observed Anomalous Cosmic Ra…
Photons and Particle Production in Cassiopeia A: Predictions from Nonlinear Diffusive Shock Acceleration
Donald C. Ellison, Philippe Goret, Matthew G. Baring +2
We calculate particle spectra and continuum photon emission from the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant (SNR). The particle spectra, ion and electron, result from diffusive shock accel…
