High-energy Emission from Magnetars
The recently discovered soft gamma-ray emission from the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1841-045 has a luminosity Lγ ∼ 1036 ergs s−1. This luminosity exceeds the spindown power by three orders of magnitude and must be fed by an alternative source of energy such as an ultrastrong magnetic field. A gradual release of energy in the stellar magnetosphere is expected if it is twisted and a strong electri...
متن کاملHigh-energy emission from transients.
Cosmic explosions dissipate energy into their surroundings on a very wide range of time scales: producing shock waves and associated particle acceleration. The historical culprits for the acceleration of the bulk of Galactic cosmic rays are supernova remnants: explosions on approximately 10(4) year time scales. Increasingly, however, time-variable emission points to rapid and efficient particle...
متن کاملLeptonic emission from microquasar jets: from radio to very high-energy gamma-rays
Microquasars are sources of very high-energy gamma-rays and, very probably, highenergy gamma-ray emitters. We propose a model for a jet that can allow to give accurate observational predictions for jet emission at different energies and provide with physical information of the object using multiwavelength data.
متن کاملWidespread Hco Emission in the M 82's Nuclear Starburst
We present a high-resolution (∼5 ") image of the nucleus of M 82 showing the presence of widespread emission of the formyl radical (HCO). The HCO map, the first obtained in an external galaxy, reveals the existence of a structured disk of ∼650 pc full diameter. The HCO distribution in the plane mimics the ring morphology displayed by other molecular/ionized gas tracers in M 82. More precisely, ...
متن کاملMilagro Constraints on Very High Energy Emission from Short-duration Gamma-ray Bursts
Recent rapid localizations of short, hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by the Swift andHETE satellites have led to the observation of the first afterglows and the measurement of the first redshifts from this type of burst (Fox et al. 2005; Gehrels et al. 2005; Villasenor et al. 2005; Berger et al. 2005; Barthelmy et al. 2005). Detection of >100 GeV counterparts would place powerful constraints on GR...
