Time-Dependent Electron Acceleration in Pulsar-Wind Termination Shocks: Application to the 2011 April Crab Nebula Gamma-Ray Flare
John J. Kroon, Peter A. Becker, Justin D. Finke
The -ray flares from the Crab nebula observed by {\it AGILE} and {\it Fermi}-LAT between 2007-2013 reached GeV photon energies and lasted several days. The strongest emission, o…
Probing the EBL evolution at high redshift using GRBs detected with the Fermi-LAT
Abhishek Desai, Marco Ajello, Nicola Omodei +6
The extragalactic background light (EBL), from ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths, is predominantly due to emission from stars, accreting black holes and reprocessed light due to…
A Steady-State Spectral Model For Electron Acceleration And Cooling In Blazar Jets: Application To 3C 279
Tiffany R. Lewis, Justin D. Finke, Peter A. Becker
We introduce a new theoretical model to describe the emitting region in a blazar jet. We assume a one-zone leptonic picture, and construct the particle transport equation for a pla…
The Binary Black Hole Merger Rate from Ultraluminous X-ray Source Progenitors
Justin D. Finke, Soebur Razzaque
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) exceed the Eddington luminosity for a black hole. The recent detection of black hole mergers by the gravitational wave detect…
