Gamma-ray and Cosmic Ray Astrophysics from 10 TeV to 1 EeV with the large-area (10 km) air-shower Detector SCORE

M. Tluczykont, T. Kneiske, D. Hampf +1

We propose to explore the so-far poorly measured cosmic ray and gamma-ray sky (accelerator sky) in the energy range from 10 TeV to 1 EeV. New physics questions might be addressed i…

Radio Imaging of the Very-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission Region in the Central Engine of a Radio Galaxy

The VERITAS Collaboration, the VLBA 43 GHz M 87 Monitoring Team, the H. E. S. S. Collaboration +1

The accretion of matter onto a massive black hole is believed to feed the relativistic plasma jets found in many active galactic nuclei (AGN). Although some AGN accelerate particle…

First bounds on the VHE gamma-ray emission from isolated Wolf-Rayet binary systems

Diego F. Torres, Javier Rico, Vincenzo Vitale

Different theoretical models predict VHE gamma-ray emission to arise in tight binary star systems (high mass-loss and high wind speeds), which has not been confirmed experimentally…
