A Multiwavelength Study of a Long-Duration VHE Flare from BL Lacertae with VERITAS
Atreya Acharyya, Avery Archer, Priyadarshini Bangale +72
We report the first observations of a long-duration very-high-energy (VHE; GeV) flare from BL Lacertae (VER J2202+422), taken with the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Te…
Gamma-ray signature of superluminous supernovae: Fermi-LAT GeV detection of SN 2017egm and evidence of a central engine
F. Acero, A. Acharyya, A. Adelfio +116
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are a rare class of transients with peak luminosities 10-100 times greater than those of standard core-collapse supernovae (SNe). The mechanisms po…
H.E.S.S. observations of composite Seyfert-starburst galaxies
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, A. Acharyya, F. Aharonian +119
Context: Composite galaxies that contain both Seyfert and starburst components may produce very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray emission at a wide range of spatial scales, fr…
The second H.E.S.S. gamma-ray burst catalogue: 15 years of observations with the H.E.S.S. telescopes
A. Acharyya, F. Aharonian, C. Arcaro +143
Recent observational efforts using imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) have led to firm detections of very-high-energy (VHE) signals from bright gamma-ray bursts (GRBs…
Detection Prospects for AGNs with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Luana Passos-Reis, Elisabete M. de Gouveia Dal Pino, Tarek Hassan +9
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) will enable detailed studies of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the very-high-energy (VHE) regime, as the next-generation ground-ba…
Unveiling the Quantum Nature of Black Holes: Towards a Proof of Hawking Radiation through Gamma-Ray Observations
Atreya Acharyya, Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Manuel Meyer +1
Hawking's groundbreaking prediction that black holes emit thermal radiation and ultimately evaporate remains unverified due to the extreme faintness of this radiation for stellar-m…
