High-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 کاملHigh-energy transients.
We present an overview of high-energy transients in astrophysics, highlighting important advances over the past 50 years. We begin with early discoveries of γ-ray transients, and then delve into physical details associated with a variety of phenomena. We discuss some of the unexpected transients found by Fermi and Swift, many of which are not easily classifiable or in some way challenge convent...
متن کاملVery high energy γ-ray emission from X-ray transients during major outbursts
Context. Some high mass X-ray binaries (HMXB) have been recently confirmed as γ-ray sources by ground based Cherenkov telescopes. In this work, we discuss the γ-ray emission from X-ray transient sources formed by a Be star and a highly magnetized neutron star. This kind of systems can produce variable hadronic γ-ray emission through the mechanism proposed by Cheng and Ruderman, where a proton b...
متن کاملHigh-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 کاملCurrent High Energy Emission from Black Holes
Two related topics are discussed. 1. Accretion onto black holes at low and high (though not very high) rates is believed to proceed adiabatically (ie nonradiatively). It is argued that the liberated energy is carried off by an outflow, probably involving almost all of the gas that is supplied. Two dimensional, fluid, accretion disks, in which mass, angular momentum and energy are transported to...
