The long-term evolution of Ultra Faint Dwarf Galaxies and observational implications
Francesco Flammini Dotti, Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta, Giovanni Carraro +2
Context. In the Local Group, dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) exhibit large velocity dispersions. These values are generally attributed to th…
Chasing Gamma-Ray Signals from Binary Neutron Star Coalescences with the Cherenkov Telescope Array: Prospects and Observing Strategies
S. Abe, J. Abhir, A. Abhishek +457
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (GW170817), together with its electromagnetic counterpart, th…
Prospects for dark matter observations in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +491
The dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) orbiting the Milky Way are widely regarded as systems supported by velocity dispersion against self-gravity, and as prime targets for the sear…
Line-of-sight acceleration as a test of the Galactic Yukawa potential
Felipe A. da Silva Barbosa, Luca Amendola, Davi C. Rodrigues +1
We forecast the impact of direct radial acceleration measurements, based on two redshift measurements of the same target one decade apart, on constraining the Yukawa correction to…
Galactic transient sources with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory Consortium
A wide variety of Galactic sources show transient emission at soft and hard X-ray energies: low- and high-mass X-ray binaries containing compact objects, isolated neutron stars exh…
The RR Lyrae distribution in the Galactic Bulge
Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta
Purpose: RR Lyrae stars are important distance indicators. They are usually present in globular clusters where they were first discovered. The study of their properties and distrib…
