Relativistic astrospheres of gamma-ray binaries: modeling of non-thermal processes
A. M. Bykov, A. E. Petrov, K. P. Levenfish
A long standing problem in high energy astrophysics is the nature of galactic accelerators of particles with energies above PeV. Such objects are sources of galactic cosmic rays an…
PeV particle acceleration and non-thermal emission in the `minimalist' model of the extended jets in W50/SS433
A. M. Bykov, S. M. Osipov, V. I. Romansky +3
The W50 nebula around microquasar SS~433, powered by supercritical accretion, features two `extended jets' (tens of pc long and a few pc wide) from which polarized X-ray and very h…
Cosmic ray acceleration and non-thermal emission from fast luminous optical transient sources
V. I. Romansky, A. M. Bykov, S. M. Osipov
Fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) represent a new class of highly energetic sources observed from radio to X-rays. High luminosity, light curves and spectra of the sources can b…
PeV proton acceleration in Gamma-ray Binaries
A. M. Bykov, A. E. Petrov, G. A. Ponomaryov +2
Current generation of ground based gamma-ray telescopes observed dozens of sources of photons above 100 TeV. Supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, young stellar clusters and sup…
Shocks and non-thermal particles in clusters of galaxies
A. M. Bykov, F. Vazza, J. A. Kropotina +2
Galaxy clusters grow by gas accretion, mostly from mergers of substructures, which release powerful shock waves into cosmic plasmas and convert a fraction of kinetic energy into th…
Pulsar wind nebulae with bow shocks: non-thermal radiation and cosmic ray leptons
A. M. Bykov, E. Amato, A. E. Petrov +2
Pulsars with high spin-down power produce relativistic winds radiating a fraction of the power in the range from radio to gamma-rays in the pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). The rest of…
