Multi-epoch afterglow rebrightenings in GRB 250129A: Evidence for successive shock interactions

D. Akl, S. Antier, H. Koehn +105

Most long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit afterglows broadly consistent with external forward-shock emission, typically described by smooth broken power-law decays in the multiband…

Searching for EeV photons with Telescope Array Surface Detector and neural networks

Telescope Array Collaboration, R. U. Abbasi, T. Abu-Zayyad +126

Ultra-high-energy photons play an important role in probing astrophysical models and beyond-Standard-Model scenarios. We report updated limits on the diffuse photon flux using Tele…

The Radio Spectra of High Luminosity Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO-2s): Implications for Studies of Compact Jetted Active Galactic Nuclei

P. V. de la Parra, A. C. S Readhead, T. Herbig +18

This paper addresses, for the first time, a key aspect of the phenomenology of Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) -- the characteristics of their radio spectra. We present a radio-sp…

Isotropy of cosmic rays beyond eV favors their heavy mass composition

Telescope Array Collaboration, R. U. Abbasi, Y. Abe +138

We report an estimation of the injected mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) at energies higher than 10 EeV. The composition is inferred from an energy-depend…

Mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays from distribution of their arrival directions with the Telescope Array

Telescope Array Collaboration, R. U. Abbasi, Y. Abe +138

We use a new method to estimate the injected mass composition of ultrahigh cosmic rays (UHECRs) at energies higher than 10 EeV. The method is based on comparison of the energy-depe…

An extremely energetic cosmic ray observed by a surface detector array

Telescope Array Collaboration

Cosmic rays are energetic charged particles from extraterrestrial sources, with the highest energy events thought to come from extragalactic sources. Their arrival is infrequent, s…

Compact Symmetric Objects -- III Evolution of the High-Luminosity Branch and a Possible Connection with Tidal Disruption Events

A. C. S. Readhead, V. Ravi, R. D. Blandford +18

We use a sample of 54 Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) to confirm that there are two unrelated CSO classes: an edge-dimmed, low-luminosity class (CSO~1), and an edge-brightened, hi…
