TeV BL Lac objects at the dawn of the Fermi era (2009, methodology): “For RGB J0152+017 we use the X-ray spectrum (taken with XMM and RXTE; Aharonian et al. 2008) close in time to the TeV observations.”
TOWARD UNDERSTANDING THE COSMIC-RAY ACCELERATION AT YOUNG SUPERNOVA REMNANTS INTERACTING WITH INTERSTELLAR CLOUDS: POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS TO RX J1713.7−3946 (2011, background): “…cosmic-ray acceleration through a diffusive shock acceleration mechanism (DSA; Bell 1978, Blandford & Ostriker 1978, Blandford & Eichler 1987), and multi-wavelength nonthermal emissions from SNRs caused by accelerated particles have been detected (e.g., Koyama et al. 1995, Aharonian et al. 2008).”
FERMI LAT DISCOVERY OF EXTENDED GAMMA-RAY EMISSION IN THE DIRECTION OF SUPERNOVA REMNANT W51C (2009, background): “This conjecture has been strengthened by recent observations of young SNRs in synchrotron X-rays and very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-rays (see e.g., Reynolds 2008; Aharonian et al. 2008).”
Broad-band non-thermal emission from molecular clouds illuminated by cosmic rays from nearby supernova remnants (2009, background): “…of about 10% of their explosion energy is somehow converted into CRs (Baade and Zwicky 1934; Hillas 2005), and ii) the fact that some shell-type SNRs have been detected at TeV energies (see Aharonian et al. 2008, for a review), as expected if they indeed are the sources of CRs (Drury et al. 1994).”
Cosmological Magnetic Fields: Their Generation, Evolution and Observation (2013, background): “If the IGMF strength is close to the lower bound derived from the GeV γ-ray data from the Fermi telescope, a measurement of the IGMF can be achieved using a combination of the Fermi telescope with one of the ground-based Cherenkov telescopes: HESS, MAGIC or VERITAS.”
Teraelectronvolt Astronomy (2010, methodology): “…Mrk 180 (z = 0.045), 1ES 1959+650 (z = 0.047), PKS0548−322 (z = 0.069), BLLacertae (z = 0.069), PKS2005−489 (z = 0.071), RGBJ0152+017 (z = 0.08) (Aharonian et al. 2008b), W Comae (z = 0.102) (Acciari et al. 2008), PKS2155−304 (z = 0.116), H 1426+428 (z = 0.129), 1ES 0806+524 (z = 0.138) (V.…”
NONTHERMAL RADIATION OF YOUNG SUPERNOVA REMNANTS: THE CASE OF RX J1713.7−3946 (2010, background): “7−3946, Vela Jr., RCW 86 (see Aharonian et al. 2008 for a recent review) give a more direct and unambiguous information about the effective acceleration of particles, electrons, and/or protons, in SNRs to energies exceeding 100 TeV.”
