Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to spectral signatures of hadronic PeVatrons with application to Galactic Supernova Remnants

The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, F. Acero, A. Acharyya +356

The local Cosmic Ray (CR) energy spectrum exhibits a spectral softening at energies around 3~PeV. Sources which are capable of accelerating hadrons to such energies are called hadr…

Tidal Stripping in the Adiabatic Limit

Jens Stücker, Go Ogiya, Raul E. Angulo +2

We present a model for the remnants of haloes that have gone through an adiabatic tidal stripping process. We show that this model exactly reproduces the remnant of an NFW halo tha…

Spatial extension of dark subhalos as seen by Fermi-LAT and implications for WIMP constraints

J. Coronado-Blazquez, M. Sanchez-Conde, J. Perez-Romero +1

Spatial extension has been hailed as a "smoking gun" in the gamma-ray search of dark galactic subhalos, which would appear as unidentified sources for gamma-ray telescopes. In this…
