The Extragalactic Γ Ray Background
One way to understand the nonthermal history of the universe is by establishing the origins of the unresolved and truly diffuse extragalactic γ rays. Dim blazars and radio/γ galaxies certainly make an important contribution to the galactic γ-ray background given the EGRET discoveries, and previous treatments are reviewed and compared with a new analysis. Studies of the γ-ray intensity from cosm...
متن کاملA general scheme for modelling γ-ray burst prompt emission
We describe a general method for modelling γ -ray burst (GRB) prompt emission, and determine the range of magnetic field strength, electron energy, Lorentz factor of the source and the distance of the source from the central explosion that is needed to account for the prompt γ -ray emission of a typical long-duration burst. We find that for the burst to be produced via the synchrotron process u...
متن کاملBackground Subtraction and Noise Modelling for Spectroscopy Data
In order to apply analysis processes to spectroscopy data, it is generally necessary to first pre-process it to make the data more consistent with the assumed signal generation model. In this work, we are specifically interested in applying a linear Poisson model (LPM) [4], and need to confirm that background subtraction delivers data with specific (Poisson) noise characteristics. A suitable ba...
متن کاملModelling instrument background for CCD x-ray spectrometers in space
The European Space Agency (ESA) X-ray Evolving Universe Spectroscopy (XEUS) mission is designed as a follow-on to the ESA X-ray Multi Mirror (XMM-Newton) mission and may contain charge-coupled device (CCD) based instrumentation. Low instrument background is essential for the mission to maximise sensitivity. Results from XMM-Newton and the Japanese Space Agency Suzaku mission show that both the ...
متن کاملThe Starburst Contribution to the Extra-galactic Γ-ray Background
Cosmic ray protons interacting with gas at the mean density of the interstellar medium in starburst galaxies lose energy rapidly via inelastic collisions with ambient nuclei. The resulting pions produce secondary electrons and positrons, high-energy neutrinos, and γ-ray photons. We estimate the cumulative γ-ray emission from starburst galaxies and find a specific intensity at GeV energies of νI...
