Observation of a Downward Terrestrial Gamma‐Ray Flash Associated With Dart Leaders of a Negative Cloud‐To‐Ground Lightning Flash

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract We report the observation of a downward terrestrial gamma‐ray flash (TGF) during the dart‐leader stage in a negative cloud‐to‐ground lightning flash. The observation was recorded by the Telescope Array Surface Detector, in conjunction with a Lightning Mapping Array, an interferometer (INTF), a fast antenna, and a high‐speed camera.

GW170817: A Short Review of the First Multimessenger Event in Gravitational Astronomy

Galaxies
The first detection of gravitational waves from the binary black merger GW150914 started the era of gravitational astronomy. The observation of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 and of its associated electromagnetic counterpart GRB 170817A started ...

A Study on the Line of Sight to Galaxies Detected at Gamma-Ray Energies

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The large-scale universal structure comprises strands of dark matter and galaxies with large underdense volumes known as voids. We measure the fraction of the line of sight that intersects voids for active galactic nuclei (AGN) detected by Fermi Large ...

Neutrino astronomy and gamma-ray bursts

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2007
The construction of large-volume detectors of high energy, greater than 1 TeV, neutrinos is mainly driven by the search for extragalactic neutrino sources. The existence of such sources is implied by the observations of ultra-high-energy, greater than or equal to 10 19  eV, cosmic rays, the origin of which is a ...

Impacts of Voids, Line-of-sight Interactions, and Local Emission Environment on the Detectability of Gamma-Ray Active Galactic Nuclei

The Astrophysical Journal
Cosmic voids may have novel effects on the propagation of high-energy photons. We consider the fraction of the line of sight that intersect voids (termed “voidiness”).

Leptohadronic Multimessenger Modeling of Two High-redshift (z > 1) Neutrino Emission Blazar Candidates

The Astrophysical Journal
The blazars are one of the leading candidate sources of high-energy neutrinos. Recently, two blazars have been found to be temporally and spatially correlated with some IceCube high-energy neutrino events. The two blazars, GB6 J2113+1121 and NVSS J171822+

The status of gamma-ray astronomy

, 2012
Gamma-ray studies are an essential tool in our search for the origin of cosmic rays. Instruments like the Fermi-LAT, H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS have revolutionized our understanding of the high energy Universe. This paper describes the status of the very rich field of gamma-ray astrophysics that contains a wealth of data on Galactic and extragalactic ...
