Measurement of the cosmic ray nickel energy spectrum from 10 GeV/n to 2 TeV/n with the DAMPE
F. Alemanno, Q. An, P. Azzarello +144
Nickel, one of the most tightly bound nuclei alongside iron, is the most abundant heavy element beyond iron in cosmic rays. With DAMPE's excellent charge resolution and broad energ…
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…
Observations of the Fermi bubbles and the Galactic center excess with the DArk Matter Particle Explorer
F. Alemanno, Q. An, P. Azzarello +145
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a space-borne high-energy particle detector that surveys the -ray sky above with a peak acceptance of $\sim 0.2~\rm…
Search for Light-Mass Fractionally Charged Particles in Space with DAMPE Experiment
F. Alemanno, Q. An, P. Azzarello +144
Free Fractionally Charged Particles (FCPs) are predicted by some theories beyond or extended to the standard model. FCPs have been widely searched for by underground and space-base…
Diverse properties of electron Forbush decreases revealed by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer
F. Alemanno, Q. An, P. Azzarello +147
The Forbush decrease (FD) of cosmic rays is an important probe of the interplanetary environment disturbed by solar activities. In this work, we study the properties of 8 FDs elect…
