Stochastic Gyroresonant Acceleration for Hard Electron Spectra of Blazars: Effect of Damping of Cascading Turbulence
Jun Kakuwa
Stochastic acceleration of nonthermal electrons is investigated in the context of hard photon spectra of blazars. It is well known that this acceleration mechanism can produce a ha…
Radio Relics Tracing the Projected Mass Distribution in CIZA J2242.8+5301
Nobuhiro Okabe, Hiroki Akamatsu, Jun Kakuwa +4
We present a weak-lensing analysis for the merging galaxy cluster, CIZA J2242.8+5301, hosting double radio relics, using three-band Subaru/Suprime-Cam imaging (). Since the…
Synchrotron Self-Compton Emission by Relativistic Electrons under Stochastic Acceleration: Application to Mrk 421 and Mrk 501
Jun Kakuwa, Kenji Toma, Katsuaki Asano +2
We examine the applicability of the stochastic electron acceleration to two high synchrotron peaked blazars, Mrk 421 and Mrk 501, assuming synchrotron self-Compton emission of gamm…
Time-Dependent Models for Blazar Emissions with the Second-Order Fermi Acceleration
Katsuaki Asano, Fumio Takahara, Masaaki Kusunose +2
The second-order Fermi acceleration (Fermi-II) driven by turbulence may be responsible for the electron acceleration in blazar jets. We test this model with time-dependent simulati…

The CTA Consortium, :, O. Abril +1102
Compilation of CTA contributions to the proceedings of the 33rd International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2013), which took place in 2-9 July, 2013, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Gamma-Ray Burst Science in the Era of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Susumu Inoue, Jonathan Granot, Paul T. O'Brien +23
We outline the science prospects for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory operating at energies…
Prospects for Detecting Gamma-Ray Bursts at Very High Energies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Jun Kakuwa, Kohta Murase, Kenji Toma +3
We discuss the prospects for the detection of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the next generation, ground-based facility of imaging atmospheric Cher…
Design Concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The CTA Consortium
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Ground-based gamma-ray…
