Gamma-Ray Localization of Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes

M. Marisaldi, A. Argan, A. Trois +59

Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes (TGFs) are very short bursts of high energy photons and electrons originating in Earth's atmosphere. We present here a localization study of TGFs carr…

Detection of Gamma-Ray Emission from the Vela Pulsar Wind Nebula with AGILE

A. Pellizzoni, A. Trois, M. Tavani +68

Pulsars are known to power winds of relativistic particles that can produce bright nebulae by interacting with the surrounding medium. These pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are observed…
