Optical polarimetric observations of the microquasar LS 5039
J. A. Combi, S. A. Cellone, J. Marti +3
We present the first optical polarimetric observations of the runaway microquasar LS 5039. Our results reveal the presence of a large amount (~5%) of polarized emission towards thi…
Towards a population of HMXB/NS microquasars as counterparts of low-latitude unidentified EGRET sources
M. Ribo, J. A. Combi, I. F. Mirabel
The discovery of the microquasar LS 5039 well within the 95% conficence contour of the Unidentified EGRET Source (UES) 3EG J1824-1514 was a major step towards the possible associat…
On the nature of the unidentified X-ray/gamma-ray sources IGR J18027-1455 and IGR J21247+5058
J. A. Combi, M. Ribo, I. F. Mirabel
We present a multiwavelength study of the environment of the unidentified X-ray/gamma-ray sources IGR J18027-1455 and IGR J21247+5058, recently discovered by the IBIS/ISGRI instrum…
The dust-enshrouded microquasar candidate AX J1639.0-4642 = IGR J16393-4643
J. A. Combi, M. Ribo, I. F. Mirabel +1
We present a multiwavelength study of the field containing the unidentified X-ray source AX J1639.0-4642, discovered with the ASCA observatory and recently detected with the IBIS t…
Cosmic Ray Acceleration by Stellar Associations? The Case of Cygnus OB2
Yousaf Butt, Paula Benaglia, Jorge Combi +10
The origins of all extra-solar cosmic rays -- both the ultra high-energy and lower energy Galactic variety -- remain unclear. It has been argued that the large scale shocks and tur…
Is The Enigmatic Source 3EG J1828+0142 a Galactic Microblazar ?
Yousaf Butt, Diego Torres, Gustavo Romero +5
The unidentified EGRET source 3EG J1828+0142, located at (l,b) ~ (31.9,5.8) (Hartman et al. 1999), is particularly enigmatic since it displays very high variability over timescales…
