Gamma-rays from Collisions of Compact Objects with AGN Jets?
W. Bednarek
We consider different scenarios of collisions of compact objects (clouds, massive stars, supernova shock waves, or young pulsars) with jets in active galactic nuclei. The purpose i…
Cascades initiated by EHE photons in the magnetic field of the Earth and the Sun
W. Bednarek
The content of extremely high energy (EHE) photons in the highest energy cosmic rays can be investigated by analyzing showers arriving from directions where the perpendicular compo…
SN 1998bw--GRB 980425: A supernova explosion with a close massive companion?
R. J. Protheroe, W. Bednarek
Some gamma ray bursts may be produced by supernovae exploding in close massive binary systems (type Ib/c supernovae) as suggested by the recent observation of SN 1998bw/GRB 980425.…
The physical parameters of Markarian 501 during flaring activity
W. Bednarek, R. J. Protheroe
We determine the physical parameters (magnetic field and Doppler factor) of the homogeneous synchrotron self-Compton model allowed by the observed X-ray to gamma-ray spectra and va…
