TeV Gamma-Rays and Radio Signals: Making the Connection (TeVGRRS:MtC)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

We will study the high-energy face of some of the densest astrophysical environments including starbursting galaxies and the molecular material suffusing our own Galactic centre. Recent exciting observations by a new generation of astronomical instruments reveal that this region of the Galaxy is permeated by high-energy particles and photons (possibly energised by the supermassive black hole that ...

One hundred years after their discovery by the Austrian physicist Victor Hess, the origin of cosmic rays is still unclear. The detection of TeV gamma rays from supernova remnants (SNRs) by the experiment HESS has strengthened the hypothesis that primary Galactic cosmic-ray electrons are accelerated in SNRs up to the knee energy, where the power-law cosmic ray spectrum changes. Despite this extrao ...
