EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
Gamma-ray emission from particle illumination and shock-cloud interaction in the W51 Complex
Alan Sunny, Martina Cardillo
In the current era of very-high-energy (VHE) and ultra-high-energy (UHE) -ray astronomy, understanding Galactic PeVatrons and their acceleration mechanisms remains a primary ob…
The Origin of Multi-TeV Gamma-rays in LHAASO J0341+5258 via Cosmic Ray Illumination of Molecular Clouds
Abhijit Roy, Alan Sunny, Martina Cardillo +2
The paper investigates the ultra‑high‑energy gamma‑ray emission from LHAASO J0341+5258, modeling it as cosmic‑ray particles accelerated by a past supernova remnant that illuminate…
Studying SNR-MC interactions as galactic PeVatrons in the era of CTAO and ASTRI Mini-Array
Alan Sunny, Martina Cardillo, Antonio Tutone
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are widely recognized as key accelerators of Galactic cosmic rays (CRs), supported by the detection of the characteristic pion bump in the gamma-ray spect…
