چکیده

A technique of timescale analysis performed directly in the time domain has been developed recently. We have applied the technique to study rapid variabilities of hard X-rays from neutron star and black hole binaries, γ-ray bursts and terrestrial γ-ray flashes. The results indicate that the time domain method of spectral analysis is a powerful tool in revealing the underlying physics in high-energy processes in objects.

On the Momentum Diffusion of Radiating Ultrarelativistic Electrons in a Turbulent Magnetic Field

Here we investigate some aspects of stochastic acceleration of ultrarelativistic electrons by magnetic turbulence. In particular, we discuss the steady-state energy spectra of particles undergoing momentum diffusion due to resonant interactions with turbulent MHD modes, taking rigorously into account direct energy losses connected with different radiative cooling processes. For the magnetic tur...

New Prospects in High Energy Astrophysics

Recent discoveries using TeV, X-ray and radio telescopes as well as Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray arrays are leading to new insights into longstanding puzzles in high energy astrophysics. Many of these insights come from combining observations throughout the electromagnetic and other spectra as well as evidence assembled from different types of source to propose general principles. Issues discus...

ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Detection of X-ray line emission from the shell of SNR B0540–69.3

We present X-ray observations of PSR 0540–69.3 with the XMM-Newton observatory. The spectra obtained with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer reveal, for the first time, emission from ionized species of O, Ne and Fe originating from the SNR shell. Analysis of the emission line spectrum allows us to derive estimates of the temperature, ionization timescale, abundances, location, and velocity of ...

The Energy Resolution of The MAGIC Telescope

In the field of gamma-rays Astrophysics in the – energy domain, the understanding of spectra of detected gamma rays is necessary in developing models for acceleration, emission, absorption and propagation of very high energy particles in their sources and in space. Therefore, high precision in the measurement of the energy of observed gammas is important. On the example of the 17 ø MAGIC telesc...

High Energy Astrophysics Tests of Lorentz Invariance Violation

Observations of the multi-TeV spectra of the Mkn 501 and other nearby BL Lac objects exhibit the high energy cutoffs predicted to be the result of intergalactic annihilation interactions, primarily with IR photons having a flux level as determined by various astronomical observations. After correcting for such intergalactic absorption, these spectra can be explained within the framework of sync...
