A UNIFIED MODEL OF HIGH-ENERGY ASTROPHYSICAL PHENOMENA [PDF]

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2005
I outline a unified model of high-energy astrophysics, in which the gamma background radiation, cluster "cooling flows", gamma-ray bursts, X-ray flashes and cosmic-ray electrons and nuclei of all energies — share a common origin. The mechanism underlying these phenomena is the emission of relativistic "cannonballs" by ordinary supernovae, analogous to

The Phenomena of High Energy Astrophysics [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2003
A brief summary of some highlights in the study of high energy astrophysical sources over the past decade is presented. It is argued that the great progress that has been made derives largely from the application of new technology to observation throughout all of the electromagnetic and other spectra and that, on this basis, the next decade should be ...

GrailQuest: hunting for atoms of space and time hidden in the wrinkle of Space-Time [PDF]

Experimental Astronomy, 2021
AbstractGrailQuest(Gamma Ray Astronomy International Laboratory for QUantum Exploration of Space-Time) is a mission concept based on a constellation (hundreds/thousands) of nano/micro/small-satellites in low (or near) Earth orbits. Each satellite hosts a non-collimated array of scintillator crystals coupled with Silicon Drift Detectors with broad ...

Lorentz violation at high energy: Concepts, phenomena, and astrophysical constraints [PDF]

Annals of Physics, 2006
We consider here the possibility of quantum gravity induced violation of Lorentz symmetry (LV). Even if suppressed by the inverse Planck mass such LV can be tested by current experiments and astrophysical observations. We review the effective field theory approach to describing LV, the issue of naturalness, and many phenomena characteristic of LV.

Testing Lorentz Symmetry Using High Energy Astrophysics Observations [PDF]

Symmetry, 2017
We discuss some of the tests of Lorentz symmetry made possible by astrophysical observations of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays, γ-rays, and neutrinos. These are among the most sensitive tests of Lorentz invariance violation because they are the highest ...

High-Energy Transients: Thermonuclear (Type-I) X-Ray Bursts [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2017
Many distinct classes of high-energy variability have been observed in astrophysical sources, and over a range of time-scales. The widest range, spanning microseconds to decades, is found in accreting, compact, stellar-mass objects, including neutron ...

HIGH ENERGY APPROACHES TO LOW ENERGY PHENOMENA IN ASTROPHYSICS [PDF]

Electromagnetic Interactions in Nuclear and Hadron Physics, 2002
Studies in nuclear astrophysics have long been associated with long runs at small accelerators, measuring ever-decreasing cross sections as one approached (but rarely reached) the energy of reactions in stars. But in recent years pioneering studies have shown that studies at high-energy accelerators can often yield the same information, and in some ...
