The Amerigo Vespucci as a traveling laboratory for studying the cosmic-ray fluxes at sea level
Davide Cerasole, Federica Cuna, Gaia De Palma +13
We have installed and operated a plastic scintillator detector counter to measure the flux of cosmic radiation during the 2023-2025 tour of the historical vessel Amerigo Vespucci.…
Exploring the nature of Galactic unassociated sources detected by the Fermi-LAT
F. Acero, A. Acharyya, A. Adelfio +120
We investigate the nature of the unassociated sources detected by the Fermi-LAT close (|b|<10°) to the Galactic plane, representing 16% of all sources in the 4FGL-DR4 catalog. The…
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…
Characterizing Candidate Blazar Counterparts of the Ultra-High-Energy Event KM3-230213A
KM3NeT Collaboration, MessMapp Group, LAT Collaboration +13
High-energy astrophysical neutrinos serve as crucial messengers for understanding hadronic acceleration processes and identifying the origins of cosmic rays, with blazars among the…
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…
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…
