A cosmic ray cocoon along the X-ray jet of M87?

M. G. Dainotti, M. Ostrowski, D. Harris +2

Relativistic jets propagating through an ambient medium must produce some observational effects along their side boundaries because of interactions across the large velocity gradie…

Discovery of extended VHE γ-ray emission from the vicinity of the young massive stellar cluster Westerlund 1

HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +198

Results obtained in very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray observations performed with the H.E.S.S. telescope array are used to investigate particle acceleration processes in th…

Cosmic Ray Acceleration at Relativistic Shocks

Michal Ostrowski

Theoretical studies of cosmic ray particle acceleration in the first-order Fermi process at relativistic shocks are reviewed. At the beginning we discuss the acceleration processes…

High Energy gamma-rays From FR I Jets

L. Stawarz, M. Sikora, M. Ostrowski

Thanks to Hubble and Chandra telescopes, some of the large scale jets in extragalactic radio sources are now being observed at optical and X-ray frequencies. For the FR I objects t…

Cosmic ray acceleration at supergalactic accretion shocks: a new upper energy limit due to a finite shock extension

M. Ostrowski, G. Siemieniec-Ozieblo

Accretion flows onto supergalactic-scale structures are accompanied with large spatial scale shock waves. These shocks were postulated as possible sources of ultra-high energy cosm…
