Search for High Energy Neutrino Emission from Gamma - Ray Bursts
The photo-meson production of pions by shock-accelerated protons could generate a burst of ∼ 10 14 eV neutrinos from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observable in the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) or its larger successors. Measurement of this flux can test the hypothesis that GRBs are the sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays, and GRB neutrinos could permit high-precision expe...
متن کاملHigh-energy γ-ray emission from gamma-ray bursts
GRBs are nowadays a rather well understood phenomenon in the soft (KeV-MeV) γ-ray energy band, while only a few GRBs have been observed at high photon energies (Eγ ∼ 1 GeV). It is also widely recognized that GRBs accelerate protons to relativistic energies and that dense media are often present nearby the sources. Within this framework and by further adopting Totani’s suggestion that GRB events...
متن کاملCorrelation between the X-ray and Tev Gamma Ray Emission from an Accreting X-ray Binary
Measurements of the signal strength of TeV gamma rays from the accreting X-ray binary Cen X-3 show evidence for correlation with both the RXTE/ASM and the BATSE X-ray signal strengths. There are indications that the time scale for the variability of the gamma rays may be similar to that of X-rays and as short as a day. These features of the X-ray and TeV emission from an accreting binary show m...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Emission from X-Ray Binaries
We summarize the current observational picture regarding high-energy emission from Galactic X-ray binaries, reviewing the results of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory mission. We speculate on the prospects for the GLAST era.
متن کاملHARD X-RAY EMISSION FROM SH 2‐104: A NuSTAR SEARCH FOR GAMMA-RAY COUNTERPARTS
We present NuSTAR hard X-ray observations of Sh 2–104, a compact HII region containing several young massive stellar clusters (YMSCs). We have detected distinct hard X-ray sources coincident with localized VERITAS TeV emission recently resolved from the giant gamma-ray complex MGRO J2019+37 in the Cygnus region. Faint, diffuse X-ray emission coincident with the eastern YMSC in Sh 2–104 is likel...
