چکیده
We explore the axion-like particle (ALP)-photon oscillation effect in $\gamma$-ray spectra of blazars Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) and PG 1553+113, which are measured by Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes (MAGIC) Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) with high precision. investigate constraints on ALP parameter space using Mrk 1553+113 observations 15 5 phases, respectively. find that combined analysis all phases improves limits from observations. The limit set has excluded region ALP-photon coupling $g_{a\gamma} \gtrsim 2 \times 10^{-11} \, \rm GeV^{-1}$ for mass $\sim 8\times 10^{-9}\, {\rm eV} \lesssim m_a 2\times 10^{-7}\rm eV$ at 95% $\rm C.L.$ also hypothesis can slightly improve fit to results some regions, do not this case.

Searching for Axion-like Particles with Active Galac- tic Nuclei
An Axion-Like Particle (ALP) is any scalar or pseudo-scalar field which couples to the kinetic terms of the photon. The pseudo scalar coupling to photons is identical to that of the axion; L ⊃ φ 4M ǫμνλρFF, and a scalar field couples through the Lagrangian term; L ⊃ φ 4MFμνF μν . The presence of contact interactions between ALPs and photons means that ALPs affect the propagation of photons thro...
متن کاملFermi-LAT Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope observatory is a pair conversion telescope sensitive to gamma-rays over more than four energy decades, between 20 MeV and more than 300 GeV. Acting in synergy with the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) the other instrument onboard the mission the LAT features unprecedented sensitivity for the study of gammaray bursts (GRBs) in te...
متن کاملFermi-LAT observations of the gamma-ray burst GRB 130427A.
The observations of the exceptionally bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A by the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope provide constraints on the nature of these unique astrophysical sources. GRB 130427A had the largest fluence, highest-energy photon (95 GeV), longest γ-ray duration (20 hours), and one of the largest isotropic energy releases ever observed from a GRB....
متن کاملFermi-lat Observations of the Ligo Event Gw150914
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has an instantaneous field of view (FoV) covering~1 5 of the sky and it completes a survey of the entire sky in high-energy gamma-rays every 3 hr. It enables searches for transient phenomena over timescales from milliseconds to years. Among these phenomena could be electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) sources. In this paper, we present a d...
متن کاملFermi-LAT observations of the Sagittarius B complex
Aims. We use 5 years of Fermi-LAT data towards the Galactic-centre giant molecular cloud complex, Sagittarius B, to test questions of how well-mixed the Galactic component of cosmic rays are and what the level of the cosmic-ray sea in different parts of the Galaxy is. Methods. We use dust-opacity maps from the Planck satellite to obtain independent methods for background subtraction and an esti...
