High energy gamma rays from old accreting neutron stars
We consider a magnetized neutron star with accretion from a companion star or a gas cloud around it, as a possible source of gamma rays with energy between 100 MeV and 10 − 10 eV . The flow of the accreting plasma is terminated by a shock at the Alfvén surface. Such a shock is the site for the acceleration of particles up to energies of ∼ 10 − 10 eV ; gamma photons are produced in the inelastic...
متن کاملHigh Energy Gamma Rays
This article reviews the present status of high energy γ-ray astronomy at energies above 30 MeV. Observations in the past decade using both spaceand ground-based experiments have been primarily responsible for giving a tremendous boost to our knowledge of the high energy Universe. High energy γ-rays have been detected from a wide range of Galactic and extragalactic astrophysical sources, such a...
متن کاملNeutron – Mirror Neutron Oscillation and Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays
We discuss the phenomenological and astrophysical implications of neutron mirror neutron oscillation and show that the present experimental data allow an oscillation time in vacuum, τnn′ , much smaller than the neutron lifetime. Such a fast oscillation could provide a very efficient mechanism for transporting protons with super-GZK energies at very large distances provided that the CMB of mirro...
متن کاملEmission Processes of High Energy Gamma Rays from Gamma-ray Bursts
Synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) process in the reverse shocks of gammaray bursts is suggested to be responsible for the observed prompt highenergy gamma-ray emissions from several gamma-ray bursts. We find that the SSC emission from the reverse shocks dominates over other emission processes in energy bands from tens of MeV to tens of GeV, for a wide range of shock parameters. This model is favor...
متن کاملIntergalactic Extinction of High Energy Gamma-Rays
We discuss the determination of the intergalactic pair-production absorption coefficient as derived by Stecker and De Jager by making use of a new empirically based calculation of the spectral energy distribution of the intergalactic infrared radiation field as given by Malkan and Stecker. We show that the results of the Malkan and Stecker calculation agree well with recent data on the infrared...
