Inductive spikes and gamma-ray flares from the Crab Nebula
John G. Kirk, Gwenael Giacinti
The ~400 MeV flaring emission from the Crab Nebula is naturally explained as the result of an abrupt reduction in the mass-loading of the pulsar wind. Very few particles are then a…
Inductive spikes in the Crab Nebula - a theory of gamma-ray flares
John G. Kirk, Gwenael Giacinti
We show that the mysterious, rapidly variable emission at ~400 MeV observed from the Crab Nebula by the AGILE and Fermi experiments could be the result of a sudden drop in the mass…
Collisionless Shocks and TeV Neutrinos before Supernova Shock Breakout from an Optically Thick Wind
G. Giacinti, A. R. Bell
During a supernova explosion, a radiation-dominated shock (RDS) travels through its progenitor. A collisionless shock (CS) is usually assumed to replace it during shock breakout (S…
Escape model for Galactic cosmic rays and an early extragalactic transition
G. Giacinti, M. Kachelriess, D. V. Semikoz
We show that the cosmic ray (CR) knee can be entirely explained by energy-dependent CR leakage from the Milky Way, with an excellent fit to all existing data. We test this hypothes…
Search for Nuclei Sources in the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray Data
G. Giacinti, D. V. Semikoz
We present a new method to search for heavy nuclei sources, on top of background, in the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray data. We apply it to the 69 events with energies E>55 EeV publ…
Search for Individual Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Ray Sources in the Future Data
G. Giacinti, D. V. Semikoz
We propose a new way to detect individual bright Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) sources above background if the Galactic Magnetic Field (GMF) gives the main contribution to U…
