Coded Mask Instruments for Gamma-Ray Astronomy [PDF]

, 2023
Coded mask instruments have been used in high-energy astronomy for the last forty years now and designs for future hard X-ray/low gamma-ray telescopes are still based on this technique when they need to reach moderate angular resolutions over large field

The Crab Pulsar and Nebula as Seen in Gamma-Rays

Universe, 2021
Slightly more than 30 years ago, Whipple detection of the Crab Nebula was the start of Very High Energy gamma-ray astronomy. Since then, gamma-ray observations of this source have continued to provide new surprises and challenges to theories, with the ...

On the Search for the Galactic PeVatrons by Means of Gamma-Ray Astronomy

Universe, 2022
Cosmic rays are ultra-relativistic particles that slam into the atmosphere from all directions in the sky. Gamma rays emitted when cosmic rays interact with Galactic gas and radiation fields are a powerful tool to investigate their origin. Many candidate

An investigation on the factors affecting machine learning classifications in gamma-ray astronomy [PDF]

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
We have investigated a number of factors that can have significant impacts on the classification performance of gamma-ray sources detected by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) with machine learning techniques. We show that a framework of automatic feature

Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic rays and Gamma Astronomy (TAIGA): Status, results and perspectives

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
We present the current status of high-energy cosmic-ray physics and gamma-ray astronomy at the Tunka Astrophysical Center (AC). This complex is located in the Tunka Valley, about 50 km from Lake Baikal.

A General Overview for Localizing Short Gamma-Ray Bursts with a CubeSat Mega-Constellation

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
The gamma-ray burst monitor (GBM) on the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, for the first time, detected a short gamma ray burst (SGRB) signal that accompanies a gravitational wave signal GW170817 in 2017.

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.
