Analyzing the December 2013 Orphan Gamma-Ray Flare From 3C 279
Tiffany R. Lewis, Justin D. Finke, Peter A. Becker
Multiwavelength monitoring of the blazar 3C 279 observed a very bright, 12-hour, orphan gamma-ray flare on 20 Dec 2013 with a uniquely hard Fermi-LAT spectrum and high Compton domi…
The giant outburst of 4U 0115+634 in 2011 with Suzaku and RXTE
Matthias Bissinger né Kühnel, Ingo Kreykenbohm, Carlo Ferrigno +19
We present an analysis of X-ray spectra of the high mass X-ray binary 4U 0115+634 as observed with Suzaku and RXTE in 2011 July, during the fading phase of a giant X-ray outburst.…
Electron Acceleration In Blazars: Application to the 3C 279 Flare on 2013 December 20
Tiffany R. Lewis, Peter A. Becker, Justin D. Finke
The broadband spectrum from the 2013 December 20 -ray flare from 3C~279 is analyzed with our previously-developed one-zone blazar jet model. We are able to reproduce two SEDs, a…
The Physics of Accretion Onto Highly Magnetized Neutron Stars
Michael T. Wolff, Peter A. Becker, Joel Coley +16
Studying the physical processes occurring in the region just above the magnetic poles of strongly magnetized, accreting binary neutron stars is essential to our understanding of st…
Time-Dependent Electron Acceleration in Pulsar Wind Termination Shocks: Application to the 2007 September Crab Nebula Gamma-Ray Flare
John J. Kroon, Peter A. Becker, Justin D. Finke
In 2007 September, the Crab Nebula exhibited a bright gamma-ray flare in the GeV energy range that was detected by AGILE. The observed emission at >160 MeV indicates that the radia…
