Monitoring the Northern Sky for Sources of TeV Gamma Rays
At the present time there are fewer then 10 confirmed sources of TeV gamma rays. While this lack of sources is partially due to the sensitivity of current instruments, it may also be due to the small field-of-view of current instruments coupled with the transient nature of astrophysical sources of TeV gamma rays. Milagro is a new type of extensive air shower array that uses water as the detecti...
متن کاملTeV gamma-rays from the Northern sky pulsar wind nebulae
We estimate the TeV γ-ray fluxes expected from the population of young pulsars in terms of the self-consistent time dependent hadronic-leptonic model for the high energy processes inside the pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). This radiation model bases on the hypothesis of Arons and collaborators who postulate that leptons are accelerated inside the nebulae as a result of resonant scattering on heavy ...
متن کاملPoint sources in the MAP sky maps
We discuss point sources foregrounds for the MAP experiment. We consider several possible strategies for removing them and we assess how the statistics of the CMB signal are affected by the residual sources. Assuming a power law distribution for the point sources, we propose a method aimed to determine the slope of the distribution from the analysis of the moments of the observed maps. The same...
متن کاملIdentification of a complete sample of northern ROSAT All-Sky Survey X-ray sources
We present the statistical evaluation of a count rate and area limited complete sample of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) comprising 674 sources. The RASS sources are located in six study areas outside the galactic plane (|bII | >∼ 20) and north of δ = −9◦. The total sample contains 274 (40.7%) stars, 26 (3.9%) galaxies, 284 (42.1%) AGN, 78 (11.6%) clusters of galaxies and 12 (1.8%) unidentifie...
