Gus Sinnis (Los Alamos National Laboratory)22/05/2014, 09:00When viewed at TeV energies the universe appears fundamentally different then when observed in the visible range. Thermal sources are non-existent and one sees only the most extreme objects: black holes from a few solar masses to billions of solar masses, neutron stars, and supernova remnants. These objects (and others) are capable of accelerating electrons and hadrons to energies well...Go to contribution page

Jürgen Knödlseder (IRAP)22/05/2014, 09:50The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a ground-based gamma-ray observatory operating from some tens of GeV to above 100 TeV that is currently designed and prepared by an international consortium of scientists and engineers around the globe. CTA is proposed to operate an an open observatory with two sites, one in the southern and one in the northern hemisphere, providing full sky coverage with...Go to contribution page

Carlotta Pittori (INAF-OAR/ASDC)22/05/2014, 10:15The surprising discovery by the AGILE satellite of variable gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from the Crab Nebula in Sept. 2010 started a new era of investigation of the Crab system, and won to the AGILE PI and the AGILE Team the Bruno Rossi Prize for 2012. Astronomers have long believed the Crab to be an almost ideal standard candle, a nearly constant source at a level of few percent, from...Go to contribution page

Francesco Longo (TS)22/05/2014, 11:00After almost 6 years of science operation, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope has detected more than 70 Gamma-Ray Bursts above 30 MeV. We will give an overview of these observations, focusing on the recently published first LAT GRB catalog (based on the first 3 years of operation), and presenting the common properties in the GRB temporal and spectral...Go to contribution page

Juan Cortina (IFAE)22/05/2014, 11:50The present generation of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) has greatly improved our knowledge on the Very High Energy side of our Universe. The MAGIC IACTs operate since 2004 with one telescope and since 2009 as a two telescope stereoscopic system. I will outline a few of our latest and most relevant results: the surprising gamma-ray factory in the Perseus galaxy cluster with emission...Go to contribution page

Sara Buson (INFN & University of Padova)22/05/2014, 12:15Variability at all wavelengths, from radio to gamma-ray energies, and at timescales from minutes to years, is one of the key signatures of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). These astrophysical sources release a large amount of their energy at gamma rays, in turn making the high-energy band (>100MeV) a fascinating and crucial domain to study. I will discuss some recent results in the field which...Go to contribution page

Shuang-Nan Zhang (Institute of High Energy Physics)22/05/2014, 12:40In this talk, I will present our recent work of correlation analysis between the sky maps of cosmic rays observed from Tibet and microwave observed from WMAP and Planck. We find that sky maps of cosmic rays observed from Tibet are strongly and positively correlated with the foreground unreduced microwave sky maps of WMAP and Planck, consistent with the Galactic origin of the Tibet cosmic rays....Go to contribution page
