CubeSats for Gamma-Ray Astronomy

, 2022
After many years of flying in space primarily for educational purposes, CubeSats - tiny satellites with form factors corresponding to arrangements of "1U" units, or cubes, each 10 cm on a side - have come into their own as valuable platforms for technology advancement and scientific investigations. CubeSats offer comparatively rapid, low-cost access to

Gamma ray astronomy with IceCube [PDF]

Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2003
We demonstrate that the South Pole kilometer-scale neutrino observatory IceCube can detect multi-TeV gamma rays continuously over a large fraction of the southern sky. While not as sensitive as pointing atmospheric Cerenkov telescopes, IceCube can roughly match the sensitivity of Milagro.

Gamma ray astronomy [PDF]

Vistas in Astronomy, 1982
Cosmic gamma rays, the physical processes responsible for their production and the astrophysical sites from which they were seen are reported. The bulk of the observed gamma ray emission is in the photon energy range from about 0.1 MeV to 1 GeV, where observations are carried out above the atmosphere.

Gamma ray astronomy

Surveys in High Energy Physics, 2001
Abstract The energy domain between 10 MeV and hundreds of GeV is an essential one for the multifrequency study of extreme astrophysical sources. The understanding of spectra of detected gamma rays is necessary for developing models for acceleration, emission, absorption and propagation of very high-energy particles at their sources and in space.

The AGILE gamma-ray astronomy mission [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2000
We describe the AGILE gamma-ray astronomy satellite which has recently been selected as the first Small Scientific Mission of the Italian Space Agency. With a launch in 2002, AGILE will provide a unique tool for high-energy astrophysics in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV range before GLAST.

Gamma Ray Astronomy with ARGO-YBJ [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008
ARGO‐YBJ is the first EAS detector combining a very high mountain altitude (4300 m a.s.1.) to a “full coverage” detection surface. These features allow ARGO‐YBJ to work with an energy threshold as low as a few hundreds GeV. The high duty cycle and the large field of view (∼2 sr) make ARGO‐YBJ suitable to monitor the gamma ray sky, searching for unknown

Gamma-Ray Astronomy

, 2008
In this paper, I present a summary of the status of γ-ray astronomy in the very high energy band (E > 50GeV), as of early 2007. It covers a selection of results obtained from observations made by ground-based detectors using the atmospheric Cherenkov or air shower techniques, together with short descriptions of some of the present and future ...
