Evidence for PeV Proton Acceleration from Fermi-LAT Observations of SNR G106.3+2.7.

TL;DR: In this paper , an analysis of 12 years of Fermi-LAT gamma-ray data was performed to confirm the long-sought connection between Galactic PeVatrons and supernova remnant (SNR) G106.3+2.7.
Book ChapterDOI

On the Formation of Jets

TL;DR: In this paper, the phenomenology of jets associated with a variety of black hole systems is summarized, emphasizing the constraints imposed on their origin, and models of jet formation are reviewed, focusing in particular on recent ideas concerning MHD models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Erratum: "Multi-wavelength Observations of the Flaring Gamma-ray Blazar 3C 66A in 2008 October" (2011, ApJ, 726, 43)

A. A. Abdo, +346 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was found that only the model with an external radiation field can accommodate the intra-night variability observed at optical wavelengths, and the resulting spectral energy distribution can be well fitted using standard leptonic models with and without an external radii field for inverse Compton scattering.
Journal ArticleDOI

General Relativistic Magnetoionic Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that given an appropriate environment surrounding the central black hole, it is possible to generate a significant degree of circular polarisation without an appreciable amount of linear polarisation due to these effects alone.
