Legacy analysis of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies: an update
A. Circiello, M. Di Mauro, M. Ajello +3
Studies of Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) data coincident with dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies (dSphs) of the Milky Way (MW) have put the most stringent constraints on models…
Detectability of Polarized Gamma-ray Emission from Blazar Flares with COSI
Garrett A. Latiolais, Jorge Otero-Santos, Michela Negro +18
We investigate the detectability of polarized gamma-ray emission from blazar flares with the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI). Using 17 years of Fermi Large Area Telescope ob…
Characterizing the Gamma-ray Emission from Low-Luminosity AGN
Chris Karwin, Nikita Khatiya, Margot Boughelilba +3
A majority of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the local Universe are classified as low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN), having bolometric luminosities $\lesssim 10^{42} \ \mathrm{erg \…
Pre-flight Background Estimates for COSI
Savitri Gallego, Uwe Oberlack, Jan Lommler +14
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a Compton telescope designed to survey the 0.2 - 5 MeV sky, consisting of a compact array of cross-strip germanium detectors. It is pl…
The gamma-ray emission from Radio Galaxies and their contribution to the Isotropic Gamma-Ray Background
A. Circiello, A. McDaniel, M. Di Mauro +6
We evaluate the contribution to the Isotropic Gamma-Ray Background (IGRB) coming from Radio Galaxies (RGs), the subclass of radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with the highest…
Fermi detection of gamma-ray Emission from the Hot Coronae of Radio-quiet Active Galactic Nuclei
Jun-Rong Liu, Jian-Min Wang, Fermi-LAT Collaboration
Relativistic jets around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are well-known powerful -ray emitters. In absence of the jets in radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGNs), how the SM…
