The binary black hole scenario for the BL Lacertae object AO 0235+16
G. E. Romero, J. H. Fan, S. E. Nuza
Recent analysis of the long term radio lightcurve of the extremely variable BL Lacertae object AO 0235+16 by Raiteri et al. (2001) have revealed the presence of recurrent outbursts…
High-energy gamma-rays from stellar associations
Diego F. Torres, Eva Domingo-Santamaria, Gustavo E. Romero
It is proposed that TeV gamma-rays and neutrinos can be produced by cosmic rays (CRs) through hadronic interactions in the innermost parts of the winds of massive O and B stars. Co…
Hadronic gamma-ray emission from windy microquasars
Gustavo E. Romero, Diego F. Torres, M. M. Kaufman Bernado +1
The jets of microquasars with high-mass stellar companions are exposed to the dense matter field of the stellar wind. We present estimates of the gamma-ray emission expected from t…
Testing the binary black hole paradigm through the Fe Kalpha line profile: application to 3C 273
Diego F. Torres, Gustavo E. Romero, Xavier Barcons +1
We propose the study of long-term variations in the Fe Kalpha line profile as a discriminator for binary black hole (BH) systems. The existence of a binary BH in the center of an a…
Microvariability in the optical polarization of 3C279
I. Andruchow, S. A. Cellone, G. E. Romero +2
We present results of a microvariability polarization study in the violently variable quasar 3C279. We have resolved the polarization curves in the V band for this object down to t…
Linearized stability of charged thin-shell wormholes
Ernesto F. Eiroa, Gustavo E. Romero
The linearized stability of charged thin shell wormholes under spherically symmetric perturbations is analized. It is shown that the presence of a large value of charge provides st…
