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…
Particle acceleration at recollimation shocks in sub-relativistic jets A model for jets in Seyfert Galaxies, Microquasars and Protostellar Systems
Enrico Peretti, Elena Amato, Silvio Sergio Cerri +3
Context: Growing observational evidence suggests that sub-relativistic astrophysical jets may accelerate particles at slowly evolving standing shocks. Recollimation shocks are expe…
Cosmic rays: constraints from future MeV detectors
Giada Peron, Sarah Recchia, Stefano Menchiari +4
Cosmic rays are charged energetic particles that permeate the interstellar medium. Their sizeable energy share and penetration power makes them essential players in the dynamical a…
Radio streaks in the Lighthouse Nebula discovered with MeerKAT -- Particles escaping from the tail and illuminating the ambient magnetic field
Pierrick Martin, Mickael Coriat, Barbara Olmi +4
Bow-shock pulsar wind nebulae are valuable sources to investigate the dynamics of relativistic pulsar winds and the mechanisms by which they are converted into cosmic-ray leptons a…
The environment of TeV halo progenitors
Lioni-Moana Bourguinat, Carmelo Evoli, Pierrick Martin +1
TeV haloes are extended sources of very-high-energy gamma rays found around some middle-aged pulsars. The emission spanning several tens of parsecs suggests an efficient confinemen…
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…
