Spectrum and Composition of Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays from Semi-relativistic Hypernovae
Ruo-Yu Liu, Xiang-Yu Wang
It has been suggested that hypernova remnants, with a substantial amount of energy in semi-relativistic ejecta, can accelerate intermediate mass or heavy nuclei to ultra-high energ…
Nearby low-luminosity GRBs as the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays revisited
Ruo-Yu Liu, Xiang-Yu Wang, Zi-Gao Dai
Low-luminosity gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with luminosity . 10^49erg/s probably consititute a distinct population from the classic high-luminosity GRBs. They are the most luminous obj…
Probing the tidal disruption flares of massive black holes with high-energy neutrinos
Xiang-Yu Wang, Ruo-Yu Liu, Zi-Gao Dai +1
The recently discovered high-energy transient Swift J164449.3+573451 (Sw J1644+57) is thought to arise from the tidal disruption of a passing star by a dormant massive black hole.…
Constraining the Emissivity of Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays in the Distant Universe with the Diffuse Gamma-ray Emission
Xiang-Yu Wang, Ruo-Yu Liu, Felix Aharonian
Ultra-high cosmic rays (UHECRs) with energies >10^19 eV emitted at cosmological distances will be attenuated by cosmic microwave and infrared background radiation through photohadr…
