Detection of Small Flares from the Crab Nebula with Fermi-LAT

Masanori Arakawa, Masaaki Hayashida, Dmitry Khangulyan +1

Gamma radiation from the Crab pulsar wind nebula (PWN) shows significant variability at MeV energies, recently revealed with spaceborne gamma-ray telescopes. Here we repo…

Synchrotron Gamma-Ray Emission Model of the Giant Outburst of Quasar 3C 279 in 2015 June: Fast Reconnection or Stochastic Acceleration with Electromagnetic Cascade?

Katsuaki Asano, Masaaki Hayashida

We test the synchrotron emission scenario for the very bright gamma-ray flare of blazar 3C 279 observed in 2015 June using time-dependent numerical simulations. A bulk Lorentz fact…

Dependence of accessible dark matter annihilation cross-sections on the density profiles of dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array

Nagisa Hiroshima, Masaaki Hayashida, Kazunori Kohri

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are excellent targets in gamma-ray searches for dark matter. We consider dark matter searches in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) with the Cherenkov Tele…

Multi-messenger observations of a flaring blazar coincident with high-energy neutrino IceCube-170922A

The IceCube, Fermi-LAT, MAGIC +13

Individual astrophysical sources previously detected in neutrinos are limited to the Sun and the supernova 1987A, whereas the origins of the diffuse flux of high-energy cosmic neut…

Blazar Spectra with Hard-sphere-like Acceleration of Electrons

Katsuaki Asano, Masaaki Hayashida

Electrons emitting non-thermal photons in blazars are possibly accelerated by turbulences developed in jets. In this paper, we consider the case so-called hard-sphere scattering as…

Prototyping Hexagonal Light Concentrators Using High-Reflectance Specular Films for the Large-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array

Akira Okumura, Dang Viet Tan, Sakiya Ono +8

We have developed a prototype hexagonal light concentrator for the Large-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array. To maximize the photodetection efficiency of the focal-p…
