This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) instru ment on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory left as a legacy its Third Catalog of High Energy Gamma-Ray Sources, whose detections include a large number of blazars, some pulsars, the Large Magellanic Cloud and a solar flare. Most of the newly discovered objects - a majority of the catalog -are unidentified sources, with a clearly predominant Galactic population. Are all these radio-quiet pulsars, like Geminga, or is there a novel type of celestial object, awaiting identification? In spite of the limited angular resolution provided by EGRET and COMPTEL, there is still much to learn about unidentified ,-ray sources: correlation studies, multiwavelength observations and theoretical work can provide valuable clues, specially if these efforts are carried out in a coordinated manner. The aim of this workshop, held from October 9 to 11, 2000, at the Instituto N acional de Astrofisica, Optica y Electronica, at Tonantzintla, Mexico, was to gather experts on the subject, including observational as tronomers specialized in other regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, in an effort to address the question of the Nature of Galactic high-energy gamma-ray sources, both from the theoretical and observational perspec tive, and elaborate schemes for future identification studies which can make use of existing and forthcoming facilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High energy gamma-ray photons are the prime probes of the relativistic or high-energy universe, populated by black holes, neutron stars, supernovae, quasars, and matter-antimatter annihilations. Through studying the gamma-ray sky, astrophysicists are able to better understand the formation and behavior of these exotic and energetic bodies. V

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gamma-ray astronomy has undergone an enormous progress in the last 15 years. The success of satellite experiments like NASA's Comp ton Gamma-Ray Observatory and ESA's INTEGRAL mission, as well as of ground-based instruments have open new views into the high-energy Universe. Different classes of cosmic gamma-ray sources have been now detected at different energies, in addition to young radio pulsars and gamma-ray bursts, the classical ones. The new sources include radio quiet pulsars, microquasars, supernova remnants, starburst galaxies, ra dio galaxies, flat-spectrum radio quasars, and BL Lacertae objects. A large number of unidentified sources strongly suggests that this brief enumeration is far from complete. Gamma-ray bursts are now estab lished as extragalactic sources with tremendous energy output. There is accumulating evidence supporting the idea that massive stars and star forming regions can accelerate charged particles up to relativistic ener gies making them gamma-ray sources. Gamma-ray astronomy has also proved to be a powerful tool for cosmology imposing constraints to the background photon fields that can absorb the gamma-ray flux from dis tant sources. All this has profound implications for our current ideas about how particles are accelerated and transported in both the local and distant U niverse. The evolution of our knowledge on the gamma-ray sky has been so fast that is not easy for the non-specialist scientist and the graduate student to be aware of the full potential of this field or to grasp the fundamentals of a given topic in order to attempt some original contribution.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Astrophysical sources of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray radiation provide unique information about astrophysical particle acceleration and cosmic-ray production. In particular, compact binary systems, composed of a compact object (a neutron star or black hole) in orbit with a massive stellar companion, provide an ideal environment for VHE gamma-ray production. They are not only powerful particle accelerators, but they also exhibit periodic emission that makes them excellent astrophysical laboratories. However, only a handful of binary systems have ever been observed in VHE gamma rays. Partly, this is because VHE gamma-ray binaries appear to be very rare, and part is due to observational bias. Most instruments operating at TeV are pointed and must allocate time to observing many kinds of objects. The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory, on the other hand, has high uptime (duty cycle >95%) and a wide field of view (2 sr), making it well-suited for observing transient and time-varying sources such as binaries. HAWC is also currently the only detector that is sensitive to gamma-ray photons above 10 TeV. Collected HAWC data spanning33 months between November 2014 and January 2018 are used to analyze the known and candidate VHE gamma-ray binary systems in this work. "Microquasars" are a special subclass of X-ray binaries that are also candidate VHE gamma-ray sources. Unlike other types of binaries, compact objects in microquasars accrete matter from their companion star. This process forms an accretion disk around the compact object and relativistic jets of particles are released perpendicular to the accretion disk. This feature is very similar to active galactic nuclei (AGN), only smaller in size. Given the fact that direct observation of particle acceleration in distant AGN is very challenging, microquasars grant the valuable opportunity to model similar processes using nearby objects in our own Galaxy. SS 433 is a known microquasar that has two jets ("east" and "west") terminating in radio lobes of a surrounding supernova remnant, W 50. The recent observation of SS 433 with HAWC marked the first direct evidence of gamma-ray emission from the jets of a microquasar. Using HAWC data, we have measured a VHE flux of [formula not rendered] at the jet interaction region e1 in the east lobe and [formula not rendered] in the west lobe with a combined post-trial statistical significance of 5:4. The systematic studies used to confirm the VHE gamma-ray emission at 20 TeV from the SS 433 jet interaction regions is discussed in this work, along with a brief description of the theoretical interpretation associated with the observation. The HAWC data were also used to search for gamma rays from the known VHE binaries HESS J0632+057 and LS 5039. No emission was observed from HESS J0632+057, so we compute upper limits on its flux. Emission at low statistical significance is observed from LS 5039, which is located in a crowded region of the Galactic plane and is contaminated by gamma rays from nearby extended sources. A multiple-source analysis of the region surrounding LS 5039, as well as a time-series analysis of the light curve from LS 5039, are presented. At this time, data from HAWC are not significant enough to support multi-TeV emission from LS 5039"--Pages xi-xiii.

Book excerpt: This volume consists of invited lectures and seminars presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute "The Gamma Ray Sky with COMPTON GRO and SIGMA" , which was held at the Centre de Physique Theorique of Les Houches (France) in January / February 1994. The school has been planned by a Scientific Organizing Committee. It was organized with the aim of providing students and young researchers with an up-to-date account of the high-energy phenomena in the vicinity of compact objets and the diffuse gamma-ray backgrounds after the early results from the gamma-ray telescope SIGMA and the four instruments onboard COMPTON GRO (Gamma Ray Observatory) : BATSE (Burst and Transient Source Experiment),COMPTEL(Compto'l Telescope),EGRET (Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope) and OS SE(Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment) . It was attended by more than sixty researchers from many countries. The lectures and seminars represent a complete coverage of our present knowledge and understanding of: Gamma-ray backgrounds, Gamma-ray Burts,Active Galactic Nuclei,Galactic Compact Objects, Gamma-ray Spectroscopy, Instrumentation and observation techniques, etc ... Most of these lectures are reproduced in this volume. Unfortunately, a few lecturers have chosen not to submit their manuscript.
