Very-High Energy Gamma Astrophysics
Alessandro De Angelis, Oriana Mansutti, Massimo Persic
High-energy photons are a powerful probe for astrophysics and for fundamental physics under extreme conditions. During the recent years, our knowledge of the most violent phenomena…
Constraints on Large-Scale Magnetic Fields from the Auger Results
Alessandro De Angelis, Massimo Persic, Marco Roncadelli
A recent article from the Pierre Auger Collaboration links the direction of charged cosmic rays to possible extragalactic sites of emission. The correlation of the direction of suc…
Upper limit for gamma-ray emission above 140 GeV from the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Draco
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
The nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy Draco with its high mass to light ratio is one of the most auspicious targets for indirect dark matter searches. Annihilation of hypothetical DM…
Intergalactic absorption and blazar gamma-ray spectra
Massimo Persic, Alessandro De Angelis
The distribution of TeV spectral slopes versus redshift for currently known TeV blazars (16 sources with z<0.21, and one with z>0.25) is essentially a scatter plot with hardly any…
Gamma-ray blazars: the combined AGILE and MAGIC views
M. Persic, A. DeAngelis, F. Longo +1
We describe the emission properties of blazars, i.e. the AGNs that, due to their peculiar orientation w.r.t. the observer, allow the most penetrating and direct view of their centr…
VHE astrophysics: recent developments
Massimo Persic, Alessandro De Angelis
We review the current status, and some open issues, of VHE astrophysics.
