46. LHAASO Status and Highlights in gamma-ray Astronomy

Zhen Cao (Institute of High Energy Physics, Beijing, China)

9/8/22, 11:30 AM

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) as the largest ground based Gamma Ray detector array is built up. The full array has been operated for one year. Many VHE gamma ray sources has been observed including well known sources such as the Crab and Mkr421. With many sources found having strong emission of gamma rays in UHE(> 0.1 PeV) band, LHAASO starts the era of the UHE gamma...

107. Cosmic ray acceleration in galactic sources

Stefano Gabici (APC)

9/8/22, 12:00 PM

Massive stars blow powerful winds and eventually explode as supernovae. By doing so, they inject energy and momentum in the circumstellar medium, which is pushed away from the star and piles up to form a dense and expanding shell of gas. Particles can be accelerated at both stellar wind termination shocks and at supernova remnant shocks. I will review these acceleration processes, together...

38. Particle acceleration and radiation in Pulsar Wind Nebulae

Elena Amato (INAF - Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri)

Pulsar Wind Nebulae are highly intriguing astrophysical objects in many respects. They are the brightest and closest class of relativistic sources, and hence the ultimate laboratory for the physics of relativistic plasmas, where we can study in unique detail processes such as acceleration and collimation of relativistic outlfows, or the acceleration of particles at relativistic shocks. These...
