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…
Time-Dependent Electron Acceleration in Pulsar-Wind Termination Shocks: Application to the 2011 April Crab Nebula Gamma-Ray Flare
John J. Kroon, Peter A. Becker, Justin D. Finke
The -ray flares from the Crab nebula observed by {\it AGILE} and {\it Fermi}-LAT between 2007-2013 reached GeV photon energies and lasted several days. The strongest emission, o…
Electron Acceleration in Pulsar-Wind Termination Shocks: An Application to the Crab Nebula Gamma-Ray Flares
John J Kroon, Peter A Becker, Justin Finke +1
The γ-ray flares from the Crab nebula observed by AGILE and Fermi-LAT reaching GeV energies and lasting several days challenge the standard models for particle acceleration in puls…
An Integrated Model for the Production of X-Ray Time Lags and Quiescent Spectra from Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Black Hole Accretion Coronae
John J. Kroon, Peter A. Becker
Many accreting black holes manifest time lags during outbursts, in which the hard Fourier component typically lags behind the soft component. Despite decades of observations of thi…
