Optical and near-infrared observations of the GRB 970616 error box [PDF]

, 1999
We report on near-infrared and optical observations of the GRB 970616 error box and of the X-ray sources discovered by ASCA and ROSAT in the region. No optical transient was found either within the IPN band or in the X-ray error boxes, similarly to other

Measurement of the low energy 25Mg(p,γ)26Al resonances [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022
The cosmic 1.809 MeV γ-ray emitted by the radioactive nucleus 26Al in the Galaxy is one of the key observation targets of the γ-ray astronomy. The 26Al is mainly produced by the 25Mg(p,γ)26Al reaction in the stellar Mg-Al reaction cycle.

Cherenkov Telescope Ring - An Idea for World Wide Monitoring of the VHE Sky [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
With very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy becoming a mature branch of observational astrophysics, and the multi-messenger sky being opened up by neutrino observatories and gravitational wave detectors, we here propose to set up a ring of imaging ...

Using Cepheids to determine the galactic abundance gradient I. The solar neighbourhood [PDF]

, 2001
A number of studies of abundance gradients in the galactic disk have been performed in recent years. The results obtained are rather disparate: from no detectable gradient to a rather significant slope of about -0.1 dex kpc -1. The present study concerns

The Blazar Sequence and Its Physical Understanding

Galaxies, 2022
Introduced in 1998 to attempt a first unified view of the broad-band emission properties of blazars, the blazar sequence has been extensively used in the past 25 years to guide observations as well as the physical interpretation of the overall emission ...
