Correlation of the highest-energy cosmic rays with the positions of nearby active galactic nuclei
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory provide evidence for anisotropy in the arrival directions of the cosmic rays with the highest energies, which are correlated with the…
Measurement of Aerosols at the Pierre Auger Observatory
S. Y. BenZvi, F. Arqueros, R. Cester +38
The air fluorescence detectors (FDs) of the Pierre Auger Observatory are vital for the determination of the air shower energy scale. To compensate for variations in atmospheric con…
Systematic study of atmosphere-induced influences and uncertainties on shower reconstruction at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Michael Prouza
A wide range of atmospheric monitoring instruments is employed at the Pierre Auger Observatory: two laser facilities, elastic lidar stations, aerosol phase function monitors, a hor…
New method for atmospheric calibration at the Pierre Auger Observatory using FRAM, a robotic astronomical telescope
Segev BenZvi, Martina Bohacova, Brian Connolly +16
FRAM - F/(Ph)otometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor is the latest addition to the atmospheric monitoring instruments of the Pierre Auger Observatory. An optical telescope equipped w…
Measurement of the Aerosol Phase Function at the Pierre Auger Observatory
S. Y. BenZvi, B. M. Connolly, J. A. J. Matthews +3
Air fluorescence detectors measure the energy of ultra-high energy cosmic rays by collecting fluorescence light emitted from nitrogen molecules along the extensive air shower casca…
GRB 060117: Reverse + forward shock solution
Martin Jelínek, Michael Prouza, Petr Kubánek +4
We present a discovery and observation of an extraordinarily bright prompt optical emission of the GRB 060117 obtained by a wide-field camera atop the robotic telescope FRAM of the…
