Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleosynthesis, neutrino bursts and gamma-rays from coalescing neutron stars
David Eichler,David Eichler,Mario Livio,Tsvi Piran,Tsvi Piran,David N. Schramm,David N. Schramm +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was pointed out that neutron-star collisions should synthesize neutron-rich heavy elements, thought to be formed by rapid neutron capture (the r-process), and these collisions should produce neutrino bursts and resultant bursts of gamma rays; the latter should comprise a subclass of observable gamma-ray bursts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle acceleration at astrophysical shocks: A theory of cosmic ray origin
TL;DR: In this article, the theory of first order Fermi acceleration at collisionless astrophysical shock fronts is reviewed and it is argued that the wave amplitude is probably non-linear within sufficiently strong astrophysical shocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
A giant γ-ray flare from the magnetar SGR 1806–20

Parsons,Sandeep K. Patel,T. Sakamoto,T. Sakamoto,Goro Sato,Masaya Suzuki,Jack Tueller +31 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported that SGR1806-20, a soft γ-ray repeater in Sagittarius, released a giant flare that has been called the brightest explosion ever recorded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle acceleration and nonthermal radio emission in binaries of early-type stars
David Eichler,Vladimir V. Usov +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the stellar wind collisions in early-type binaries may be strong sources of both high-energy particles and nonthermal emission, but only if the orbital period of the binary is more than some critical value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cosmic ray drift, shock wave acceleration, and the anomalous component of cosmic rays
TL;DR: In this article, a model of the anomalous component of the quiet-time cosmic ray flux is presented in which ex-interstellar neutral particles are accelerated continuously in the polar regions of the solar-wind termination shock, and then drift into the equatorial region of the inner heliosphere.
