Prospects for ultra-high-energy particle acceleration at relativistic shocks
Zhi-Qiu Huang, Brian Reville, John G. Kirk +1
We study the acceleration of charged particles by ultra-relativistic shocks using test-particle Monte-Carlo simulations. Two field configurations are considered: (i) shocks with un…
The implications of TeV detected GRB afterglows for acceleration at relativistic shocks
Zhi-Qiu Huang, John Kirk, Gwenael Giacinti +1
Motivated by the detection of very high energy gamma-rays deep in the afterglow emission of a gamma-ray burst, we revisit predictions of the maximum energy to which electrons can b…
Examining the secondary product origin of cosmic ray positrons with the latest AMS-02 data
Zhi-Qiu Huang, Ruo-Yu Liu, Jagdish C. Joshi +1
Measurements of cosmic-ray (CR) positron fraction by PAMELA and other experiments have found an excess above 10 GeV relative to the standard predictions for secondary production in…
GeV observations of the extended pulsar wind nebulae constrain the pulsar interpretations of the cosmic-ray positron excess
Shao-Qiang Xi, Ruo-Yu Liu, Zhi-Qiu Huang +2
It has long been suggested that nearby pulsars within are the leading candidate of the 10-500 GeV cosmic-ray positron excess measured by PAMELA and other exper…
Kilonova emission from black hole-neutron star mergers: observational signatures of anisotropic mass ejection
Zhi-Qiu Huang, Liang-Duan Liu, Xiang-Yu Wang +1
The gravitational wave event GW170817 associated with the short gamma-ray burst (GRB) 170817A confirms that binary neutron star (BNS) mergers are one of the origins of short GRBs.…
Inefficient cosmic ray diffusion around Vela X : constraints from H.E.S.S. observations of very high-energy electrons
Zhi-Qiu Huang, Kun Fang, Ruo-Yu Liu +1
Vela X is a nearby pulsar wind nebula (PWN) powered by a year old pulsar. Modeling of the spectral energy distribution of the Vela X PWN has shown that accelerated elec…
