Anisotropic Particle Transport from a Pulsar Wind Nebula Revealed by Einstein Probe and LHAASO
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +339
Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are major cosmic ray accelerators, yet the mechanisms transporting high-energy particles into the interstellar medium remain elusive. Building on the LHA…
The Extended Ultrahigh-energy Gamma-Ray Emission in the Vicinity of PSR J2238+5903
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +324
We present a comprehensive analysis of the recently discovered TeV gamma-ray source, LHAASO J2238+5900. Based on data collected from the LHAASO, our fitting results suggest that th…
Extreme PeV accelerator associated with GRS 1915+105
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +322
Microquasars, binary systems featuring relativistic jets, have emerged as sources for particle acceleration beyond PeV energies. We present a study of the broadband -ray emissi…
Pulsar based modeling of point spread function of Fermi Large Area Telescope
J. Blunier, A. Neronov, D. Semikoz
Sensitivity of searches for extended emission around gamma-ray sources is naturally limited by the precision of the knowledge of the Point Spread Function (PSF) of gamma-ray telesc…
Ultra-high-energy -ray imprints from PeV particles accelerated by supernova remnants
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +320
The quest for the origin of cosmic ray (CRs) is a fundamental issue in astrophysics. Shocks of supernova remnants (SNRs) have been considered as the dominant contributors to Galact…
Precise Measurement of the Cosmic Ray Helium Spectrum above 0.1 PeV
LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +321
We report a measurement of the cosmic ray helium energy spectrum in the energy interval 0.16 -- 13~PeV, derived by subtracting the proton spectrum from the light component~(proton…
