Extended gamma-ray sources around pulsars constrain the origin of the positron flux at Earth

A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +113

The unexpectedly high flux of cosmic ray positrons detected at Earth may originate from nearby astrophysical sources, dark matter, or unknown processes of cosmic-ray secondary prod…

The X-ray counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW 170817

E. Troja, L. Piro, H. van Eerten +31

A long-standing paradigm in astrophysics is that collisions- or mergers- of two neutron stars (NSs) form highly relativistic and collimated outflows (jets) powering gamma-ray burst…
