The Trinity-One PeV-Neutrino Telescope
David A. Raudales O., A. Nepomuk Otte, D. R. Bergman +15
Following the Trinity Demonstrator, Trinity One will be the first of the 18 Cherenkov telescopes that make up the Trinity PeV-Neutrino Observatory. Located on Frisco Peak in Utah,…
Thermal Spectra of Warped and Broken Accretion Disks
J. Speicher, O. Blaes
Black holes may accrete gas with angular momentum vectors misaligned with the black hole spin axis. The resulting accretion disks are subject to Lense-Thirring precession, and henc…
Impact of neutron star spin on Poynting-Robertson drag during a Type I X-ray burst
J. Speicher, P. C. Fragile, D. R. Ballantyne
External irradiation of a neutron star (NS) accretion disc induces Poynting-Robertson (PR) drag, removing angular momentum and increasing the mass accretion rate. Recent simulation…
Evolution of accretion disc reflection spectra due to a Type I X-ray burst
J. Speicher, D. R. Ballantyne, P. C. Fragile
Irradiation of the accretion disc causes reflection signatures in the observed X-ray spectrum, encoding important information about the disc structure and density. A Type I X-ray b…
An Arena for Multi-Messenger Astrophysics: Inspiral and Tidal Disruption of White Dwarfs by Massive Black Holes
Michael Eracleous, Suvi Gezari, Alberto Sesana +4
The tidal disruption of stars by (super-)massive black holes in galactic nuclei has been discussed in theoretical terms for about 30 years but only in the past decade have we been…
Periastron Observations of TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from a Binary System with a 50-year Period
The VERITAS Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, W. Benbow +212
We report on observations of the pulsar / Be star binary system PSR J2032+4127 / MT91 213 in the energy range between 100 GeV and 20 TeV with the VERITAS and MAGIC imaging atmosphe…
Measurement of Cosmic-ray Electrons at TeV Energies by VERITAS
VERITAS Collaboration, A. Archer, W. Benbow +58
Cosmic-ray electrons and positrons (CREs) at GeV-TeV energies are a unique probe of our local Galactic neighborhood. CREs lose energy rapidly via synchrotron radiation and inverse-…
The extreme HBL behaviour of Markarian 501 during 2012
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +276
A multiwavelength campaign was organized to take place between March and July of 2012. Excellent temporal coverage was obtained with more than 25 instruments, including the MAGIC,…
Multiwavelength Observations of Mrk 501 in 2008
D. Kranich, D. Paneque, A. Cesarini +16
The well-studied VHE (E >100 GeV) blazar Mrk 501 was observed between March and May 2008 as part of an extensive multiwavelength observation campaign including radio, optical, X-ra…
