Evolution of Magnetic Field of the Quasar 1604+159 at parsec Scale

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We have analyzed the total intensity, spectral index, linear polarization, and rotation measure (RM) distributions at the parsec scale for the quasar 1604+159.

BLAZAR HALOS AS PROBE FOR EXTRAGALACTIC MAGNETIC FIELDS AND MAXIMAL ACCELERATION ENERGY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
High-energy photons from blazars interact within tens of kpc with the extragalactic photon background, initiating electromagnetic pair cascades. The charged component of such cascades is deflected by extragalactic magnetic fields (EGMFs), leading to ...

Modeling the Emission and Polarization Properties of Pulsating Ultraluminous X‐Ray Sources

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Pulsating Ultraluminous X‐ray Sources (PULXs) are a class of extragalactic sources with high X‐ray luminosity, in excess of 1039$$ {10}^{39} $$ erg s−1$$ {\mathrm{s}}^{-1} $$, and showing pulsations that associate them with neutron stars accreting at a super‐Eddington rate.

GRB 221009A: A Light Dark Matter Burst or an Extremely Bright Inverse Compton Component?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been considered as potential very high energy photon emitters due to the large amount of energy released as well as the strong magnetic fields involved in their jets.

Inhomogeneous extragalactic magnetic fields and the second knee in the cosmic ray spectrum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Various experiments indicate the existence of a second knee around energy E=3x10{sup 17} eV in the cosmic ray spectrum. This feature could be the signature of the end of the galactic component and of the emergence of the extragalactic one, provided that ...

Cosmic magnetic fields from density perturbations

open access: yes, 2023
reservedMagnetic fields are observed on nearly all scales in the Universe, from stars and galaxies up to galaxy clusters and even beyond. The origin of cosmic magnetic fields remains an open question; however, a large class of models puts its origin in ...

Probing extreme black‐hole outflows on short timescales via high spectral‐resolution x‐ray imagers

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.
Abstract We investigate outflows and the physics of super‐Eddington versus sub‐Eddington regimes in black hole systems. Our focus is on prospective science using next‐generation high‐resolution soft x‐ray instruments. We highlight the properties of black hole ultraluminous x‐ray source (ULX) systems in particular. Owing to scale invariance in accreting

The Large-scale Anisotropy and Flux (de)magnification of Ultrahigh-energy Cosmic Rays in the Galactic Magnetic Field

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We calculate the arrival direction distribution of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with a new suite of models of the Galactic magnetic field (GMF), assuming sources follow the large-scale structure of the Universe.

Effects of Forbush Decreases on the Global Electric Circuit

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract The suppression of high‐energy cosmic rays, known as Forbush decreases (FDs), represents a promising factor in influencing the global electric circuit (GEC) system. Researchers have delved into these effects by examining variations, often disruptive, of the potential gradient (PG) in ground‐based measurements taken in fair weather regions.

Toward Cosmological Simulations of the Magnetized Intracluster Medium with Resolved Coulomb Collision Scale

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the first results of one extremely high-resolution, nonradiative magnetohydrodynamical cosmological zoom-in simulation of a massive cluster with a virial mass of  M _vir = 2.0 × 10 ^15 solar masses. We adopt a mass resolution of 4 × 10 ^5 M _⊙
