Probing the Non-thermal Emission Geometry of AR Sco via Optical Phase-Resolved Polarimetry
Louis du Plessis, Christo Venter, Zorawar Wadiasingh +4
AR Sco is a binary system that contains a white and red dwarf. The rotation rate of the white dwarf has been observed to slow down, analogous to rotation-powered radio pulsars; it…
Exploring the MeV Sky with a Combined Coded Mask and Compton Telescope: The Galactic Explorer with a Coded Aperture Mask Compton Telescope (GECCO)
Elena Orlando, Eugenio Bottacini, Alexander Moiseev +33
The sky at MeV energies is currently poorly explored. Here we present an innovative mission concept that builds on and improves past and currently proposed missions at such energie…
Improving the low-energy transient sensitivity of AMEGO-X using single-site events
I. Martinez-Castellanos, H. Fleischhack, C. Karwin +14
AMEGO-X, the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-Ray Observatory eXplorer, is a proposed instrument designed to bridge the so-called "MeV gap" by surveying the sky with unprecedented sensi…
Searching for TeV gamma-ray emission from SGR\,1935+2154 during its 2020 X-ray and radio bursting phase
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, H. Abdalla +251
Magnetar hyperflares are the most plausible explanation for fast radio bursts (FRB) -- enigmatic powerful radio pulses with durations of several milliseconds and high brightness te…
Evidence of 100 TeV -ray emission from HESS J1702-420: A new PeVatron candidate
L. Giunti, B. Khelifi, K. Kosack +1
The identification of active PeVatrons, hadronic particle accelerators reaching the knee of the cosmic-ray spectrum (at the energy of few PeV), is crucial to understand the origin…
A month of monitoring the new magnetar Swift J1555.2-5402 during an X-ray outburst
Teruaki Enoto, Mason Ng, Chin-ping Hu +23
The soft gamma-ray repeater Swift J1555.2-5402 was discovered by means of a 12-ms duration short burst detected with Swift BAT on 2021 June 3. Then 1.6 hours after the first burst…
LMC N132D: A mature supernova remnant with a power-law gamma-ray spectrum extending beyond 8 TeV
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, H. Abdalla +233
We analyzed 252 hours of High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) observations towards the supernova remnant (SNR) LMC N132D that were accumulated between December 2004 and March…
"Spider" Millisecond Pulsar Binaries as Potential TeV Emitters
Zorawar Wadiasingh, Christian J. T. van der Merwe, Christo Venter +2
Pulsar winds interacting with sources of external pressure are well-established as efficient and prolific TeV accelerators in our Galaxy. Yet, enabled by observations from Fermi-LA…
TeV emission of Galactic plane sources with HAWC and H.E.S.S
H. Abdalla, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +318
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory and the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) are two leading instruments in the ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray d…
Search for dark matter annihilation signals from unidentified Fermi-LAT objects with H.E.S.S
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, H. Abdallah, F. Aharonian +226
Cosmological -body simulations show that Milky Way-sized galaxies harbor a population of unmerged dark matter subhalos. These subhalos could shine in gamma-rays and be eventuall…
Revealing x-ray and gamma ray temporal and spectral similarities in the GRB 190829A afterglow
H. E. S. S. Collaboration
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which are bright flashes of gamma rays from extragalactic sources followed by fading afterglow emission, are associated with stellar core collapse events.…
Search for dark matter annihilation in the dwarf irregular galaxy WLM with H.E.S.S
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, H. Abdallah, R. Adam +232
We search for an indirect signal of dark matter through very high-energy gamma rays from the Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte (WLM) dwarf irregular galaxy. The pair annihilation of dark matte…
Search for Long-duration Gravitational-wave Signals Associated with Magnetar Giant Flares
Adrian Macquet, Marie-Anne Bizouard, Eric Burns +4
Magnetar giant flares are rare and highly energetic phenomena observed in the transient sky whose emission mechanisms are still not fully understood. Depending on the nature of the…
Constraining the Neutron Star Mass--Radius Relation and Dense Matter Equation of State with NICER. III. Model Description and Verification of Parameter Estimation Codes
Slavko Bogdanov, Alexander J. Dittmann, Wynn C. G. Ho +16
We describe the X-ray pulse profile models we use, and how we use them, to analyze Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observations of rotation-powered millisecond p…
Enhanced X-ray Emission Coinciding with Giant Radio Pulses from the Crab Pulsar
Teruaki Enoto, Toshio Terasawa, Shota Kisaka +34
Giant radio pulses (GRPs) are sporadic bursts emitted by some pulsars, lasting a few microseconds. GRPs are hundreds to thousands of times brighter than regular pulses from these s…
