Astrophotonics: the rise of integrated photonics in astronomy [PDF]

Optics & Photonics News (2019), 2019
Astronomers have come to recognize the benefits of photonics, often in combination with optical systems, in solving longstanding experimental problems in Earth-based astronomy. Here, we explore some of the recent advances made possible by integrated photonics. We also look to the future with a view to entirely new kinds of astronomy, particularly in an

Status and recent high light results from the LHAASO experiment [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) experiment, fully operational since July 2021, is a cutting-edge facility for detecting cosmic rays and gamma rays across a wide energy range. This paper offers an overview of the current status and

Investigating Time Variability of X-Ray Absorption in Swift GRBs

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The existence of excess absorption in the X-ray spectra of GRBs is well known, but the primary location of the absorbing material is still uncertain. To gain more knowledge about this, we have performed a time-resolved analysis of the X-ray spectra of ...

From gamma-ray bursts to fast radio bursts [PDF]

Nature Astronomy, volume 2, 832-835 (2018), 2018
The field of gamma-ray burst astronomy arguably went through three decades of growing pains before reaching maturity. What development lessons can be learned for the adolescent field of fast radio burst astronomy?

Gamma ray astronomy above 30 TeV and the IceCube results

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The study of the diffuse Galactic gamma ray emission is of fundamental importance to understand the properties of cosmic ray propagation in the Milky Way, and extending the measurements to E ≳ 30 TeV is of great interest.

Editorial to the Special Issue: “High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy: Results on Fundamental Questions after 30 Years of Ground-Based Observations”

Universe, 2022
Gamma-ray astronomy is the observational science that studies the cosmos in the last unexplored electromagnetic window, namely, above the megaelectronvolt (EeV = 106 eV) (MeV) [...]

Characteristics of extensive air showers around the energy threshold for ground-particle-based $$\gamma $$ γ -ray observatories

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019
Very-high-energy $$\gamma $$ γ -ray astronomy based on the measurement of air shower particles at ground-level has only recently been established as a viable approach, complementing the well established air Cherenkov technique.

A Multiwavelength Investigation of PSR J2229+6114 and its Pulsar Wind Nebula in the Radio, X-Ray, and Gamma-Ray Bands

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
G106.3+2.7, commonly considered to be a composite supernova remnant (SNR), is characterized by a boomerang-shaped pulsar wind nebula (PWN) and two distinct (“head” and “tail”) regions in the radio band. A discovery of very-high-energy gamma-ray emission (
