Centaurus X - 3 — A Source of High Energy Gamma Rays
Centaurus X-3 is a well-studied high-mass accreting X-ray binary and a variable source of high energy gamma rays with energies from 100 MeV to 1 TeV. Previous results have suggested that the origin of the gamma rays is not the immediate vicinity of the neutron star but is sited in the accretion disc, perhaps in an accretion wake. The Durham Mark 6 gamma ray telescope has been used to measure th...
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 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...
متن کاملExtragalactic Absorption of High Energy Gamma-Rays
The pair-production absorption of high-energy -rays by intergalactic low-energy photons is expected to produce a high-energy cuto in the spectra of sources which is a sensitive function of redshift. We rst discuss the expected absorption coe cient as a function of energy and redshift derived by Stecker and De Jager by making use of a new empirically based calculation of the spectral energy dist...
متن کاملAstrophysics with High Energy Gamma Rays
Recent results, the present status and the perspectives of high energy gamma-ray astronomy are described. Since the satellite observations by the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory and its precursor missions have been reviewed extensively, emphasis is on the results from the ground-based gamma-ray telescopes. They concern the physics of Pulsar Nebulae, Supernova Remnants in their assumed role as the...
