Neutrinos from Accreting Neutron Stars
Luis A. Anchordoqui, Diego F. Torres, Thomas P. McCauley +2
The magnetospheres of accreting neutron stars develop electrostatic gaps with huge potential drops. Protons and ions, accelerated in these gaps along the dipolar magnetic field lin…
Supernova remnants and gamma-ray sources
Diego F. Torres, Gustavo E. Romero, Thomas M. Dame +2
A review of the possible relationship between gamma-ray sources and supernova remnants (SNRs) is presented. Particular emphasis is given to the analysis of the observational status…
Supernova-Remnant Origin of Cosmic Rays?
Yousaf M. Butt, Diego F. Torres, Gustavo E. Romero +2
It is thought that Galactic cosmic ray (CR) nuclei are gradually accelerated to high energies (up to ~300 TeV/nucleon, where 1TeV=10^12eV) in the expanding shock-waves connected wi…
Variable gamma-ray emission from microblazars
M. M. Kaufman Bernado, G. E. Romero, I. F. Mirabel
We propose a model for gamma-ray emitting microblazars based on the Compton interaction of a relativistic electron-positron plasma, ejected in a jet feature, with the UV-photon fie…
Molecular Beam Dumps as Tracers of Hadronic Cosmic Ray Sources: the Case of SNR IC443
Yousaf M. Butt, Diego F. Torres, Jorge A. Combi +2
The gamma-ray & neutrino visibility of cosmic ray (CR) accelerators will be dramatically increased by the presence of molecular material abutting such sites due to the increased pr…
Reissner-Nordstrom black hole lensing
Ernesto F. Eiroa, Gustavo E. Romero, Diego F. Torres
In this paper we study the strong gravitational lensing scenario where the lens is a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole. We obtain the basic equations and show that, as in the case of S…
