S. Abe, J. Abhir, V. A. Acciari +189
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) Collaboration has recently reported the first detection at TeV energies of a low-luminosity radio galaxy, NGC 4278. The aim…
SHARP: Beyond JWST -- Revealing the galaxy birth and growth with the resolution of the ELT
P. Saracco, P. Conconi, C. Arcidiacono +37
A deep understanding of the life-cycle of galaxies, particularly those of high mass, requires clarifying the mechanisms that regulate star formation (SF) and its abrupt shutdown (q…
Time-Dependent Modeling of the Sub-Hour Spectral Evolution During the 2013 Outburst of Mrk 421
MAGIC Collaboration, K. Abe, S. Abe +192
In April 2013, the TeV blazar Markarian~421 underwent one of its most powerful emission outbursts to date. An extensive multi-instrument campaign featuring MAGIC, VERITAS, and \tex…
Combined dark matter search towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS
LAT Collaboration, S. Abdollahi, L. Baldini +586
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are excellent targets for indirect dark matter (DM) searches using gamma-ray telescopes because they are thought to have high DM content and a low…
Optical spectroscopy of blazars for the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory- IV
B. Rajput, P. Goldoni, W. Max-Moerbeck +17
Blazars, including BL Lacs and FSRQs, are the most luminous extragalactic γ-ray sources. They account for about 56% of the sources listed in the recent Fermi-LAT catalog (4FGL-DR4)…
A Systematic Search for MeV-GeV Pulsar Wind Nebulae without Gamma-ray Detected Pulsars
Jordan Eagle, Daniel Castro, Wei Zhang +3
An increasing number of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are being identified in the TeV band by ground-based Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes such that they constitute the dominant sour…
VLBA observations of a sample of low-power compact symmetric objects
M. Orienti, F. D'Ammando, D. Dallacasa +3
Compact symmetric objects (CSOs) are intrinsically compact extragalactic radio sources that are thought to be the progenitors of classical radio galaxies. To date, evolutionary mod…
Puzzling Variation of Gamma Rays from the Sun over the Solar Cycle Revealed with Fermi-LAT
A. Acharyya, A. Adelfio, M. Ajello +100
The steady-state gamma-ray emission from the Sun is thought to consist of two emission components due to interactions with Galactic cosmic rays: (1) a hadronic disk component, and…
Very-high-energy gamma-ray detection and long-term multi-wavelength view of the flaring blazar B2 1811+31
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +231
Among the blazars whose emission has been detected up to very-high-energy (VHE; 100 GeV < E < 100 TeV) gamma rays, intermediate synchrotron-peaked BL Lacs (IBLs) are quite rare. Th…
