Glow-in-the-dark globular clusters: modelling their multiwavelength lanterns

C. Venter, I. Buesching, A. Kopp +2

Globular clusters (GCs) are astronomical tapestries embroidered with an abundance of exotic stellar-type objects. Their high age promises a rich harvest of evolved stellar products…

Modeling High-energy and Very-high-energy gamma-rays from the Terzan 5 Cluster

C. Venter, O. C. de Jager, A. Kopp +1

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has recently detected a population of globular clusters (GCs) in high-energy (HE) gamma-rays. Their spectral properties and energetics are cons…

Signatures of middle aged, nearby pulsars in the cosmic ray lepton spectrum?

Ingo Büsching, Okker C. deJager

Recent data reported by the PAMELA and ATIC experiments, as well as cosmic ray lepton results from FERMI and H.E.S.S. collaborations sparked a series of papers explaining these res…

The H-test probability distribution revisited: Improved sensitivity

O. C. de Jager, I. Büsching

Aims: To provide a significantly improved probability distribution for the H-test for periodicity in X-ray and -ray arrival times, which is already extensively used by the -r…

First detection of VHE gamma-rays from SN 1006 by H.E.S.S

HESS Collaboration, F. Acero, F. Aharonian +175

Recent theoretical predictions of the lowest very high energy (VHE) luminosity of SN 1006 are only a factor 5 below the previously published H.E.S.S. upper limit, thus motivating f…
