Contemporaneous broadband observations of three high-redshift BL Lac Objects

Markus Ackermann, +135 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the broadband spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of three BL Lac objects 3FGL J0022.1−1855 (z = 0.689), 3Fgl J0630.9−2406 (z ≳ 1.239), and 3fgl J0811.2−7529 (z= 0.774), detected by Fermi with relatively flat gigaelectronvolt spectra, were collected simultaneously in the near-infrared to hard X-ray band.
ReportDOI

Seeing the Nature of the Accelerating Physics: It's a SNAP

J. Albert, +133 more
TL;DR: For true insight into the nature of dark energy, measurements of the precision and accuracy of the Supernova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP) are required as discussed by the authors, which can pave the way for, but should not delay, SNAP by developing calibration, refinement, and systematics control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hitomi X-ray Observation of the Pulsar Wind Nebula G21.5$-$0.9

Felix Aharonian, +195 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Hitomi X-ray observation of a young composite-type supernova remnant (SNR) G21.9, whose emission is dominated by the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) contribution, was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A kinematical approach to dark energy studies

TL;DR: In this paper, a new kinematical approach to cosmological ''dark energy'' studies was presented and applied to the three best available sets of redshift-independent distance measurements, from type Ia supernovae and X-ray cluster gas mass fraction measurements, obtaining clear statistical evidence for a late time transition from a decelerating to an accelerating phase.
