Variable VHE gamma-ray emission from non-blazar AGNs
Context. The observation of rapidly variable very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays from non-aligned active galactic nuclei (AGNs), as reported from M87, proves challenging for conventional theoretical acceleration and emission models. Aims. Motivated by recent work on pulsar-type particle acceleration in M87 (Neronov & Aharonian 2007), we re-examine the centrifugal acceleration of particles by rota...
متن کاملVariable Gamma-ray Emission from Microblazars
We propose a model for gamma-ray emitting microblazars based on the Compton interaction of a relativistic electron-positron plasma, ejected in a jet feature, with the UV-photon field provided by a high-mass stellar companion. Taking into account the gravitational effects of the star upon the accretion disk, we predict a jet precession which results in a variable, periodic, high-energy gamma-ray...
متن کاملVHE Gamma-ray supernova remnants
Increasing observational evidence gathered especially in X-rays and γ-rays during the course of the last few years support the notion that Supernova remnants (SNRs) are Galactic particle accelerators up to energies close to the “knee” in the energy spectrum of Cosmic rays. This review summarises the current status of γ-ray observations of SNRs. Shell-type as well as plerionic type SNRs are addr...
متن کاملA Search for VHE Gamma Rays from AGNs Visible from the Southern Hemisphere
Observations have been made, using the University of Durham Mark 6 gamma ray telescope, of the very high energy gamma ray emission from a number of active galactic nuclei visible from the Southern hemisphere. Limits are presented to the VHE both for steady long-term emission and for outbursts of emission on timescales of 1 day. A) — galaxies: active — gamma rays: observations
متن کاملObservation of an Extended Vhe Gamma-ray Emission from Msh15−52 with Cangaroo-iii
We have observed the supernova remnant MSH15−52 (G320.4−1.2), which contains the gamma-ray pulsar PSR B1509−58, using the CANGAROO-III imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope array from April to June in 2006. We detected gamma rays above 810GeV at the 7 sigma level during a total effective exposure of 48.4 hours. We obtained a differential gamma-ray flux at 2.35TeV of (7.9±1.5stat±1.7sys)×10 −1...
