Improved flux limits for neutrinos with energies above 10(22) eV from observations with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope.
Particle cascades initiated by ultrahigh energy neutrinos in the lunar regolith will emit an electromagnetic pulse with a time duration of the order of nanoseconds through a process known as the Askaryan effect. It has been shown that in an observing window around 150 MHz there is a maximum chance for detecting this radiation with radio telescopes commonly used in astronomy. In 50 h of observat...
متن کاملConstraints on the flux of Ultra-High Energy neutrinos from WSRT observations
Context. Ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos and cosmic rays initiate particle cascades underneath the Moon’s surface. These cascades have a negative charge excess and radiate Cherenkov radio emission in a process known as the Askaryan effect. The optimal frequency window for observation o f these pulses with radio telescopes on the Earth is around 150 MHz. Aims. By observing the Moon with the We...
متن کاملTwo variable radio sources near the position of GRB 940301
We report on the results of a search for a radio counterpart to the strong gamma-ray burst GRB 940301. Observations with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope of the Compton Telescope error box region of GRB 940301 began on March 4, 1994, at 21 cm and April 2, 1994, at 92 cm. No flux density variations were detected at 92 cm above S = 10 mJy (5 σ) within a period of 1 to 4 months after the b...
متن کاملRadio View on Two Stellar Explosions and Their Host Galaxy : Xrf 080109 / Sn 2008 D and Sn 2007 Uy in Ngc 2770
The galaxy NGC2770 hosted two core-collapse supernova explosions, SN2008D and SN 2007uy, within 10 days of each other and 9 years after the first supernova of the same type, SN1999eh, was found in that galaxy. In particular SN2008D attracted a lot of attention due to the detection of an X-ray outburst, which has been hypothesized to be caused by either a (mildly) relativistic jet or the superno...
متن کاملSuperGZK neutrinos: testing physics beyond the Standard Model
The abbreviation ‘SuperGZK neutrinos’ implies neutrinos with energies above the Greisen-ZatsepinKuzmin [1] cutoff EGZK ∼ 5× 10 19 eV. Soon after theoretical discovery of the GZK cutoff it was noticed that this phenomenon is accompanied by a flux of UHE neutrinos, that in some models can be very large [2]. In 80s it was realized that topological defects can produce unstable superheavy particles ...
