Journal ArticleDOI

On the fate of gas accreting at a low rate on to a black hole

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that only a small fraction of the gas supplied actually falls on to the black hole, and that the binding energy it releases is transported radially outward by the torque so as to drive away the remainder in the form of a wind.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fermi large area telescope first source catalog

A. A. Abdo, +288 more
TL;DR: The first Fermi-LAT catalog (1FGL) as mentioned in this paper contains 1451 sources detected and characterized in the 100 MeV to 100 GeV range, and the threshold likelihood Test Statistic is 25, corresponding to a significance of just over 4 sigma.

Searching for dark matter annihilation from Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies with six years of Fermi Large Area Telescope data

Markus Ackermann, +125 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on γ-ray observations of the Milky-Way satellite galaxies (dSphs) based on six years of Fermi Large Area Telescope data processed with the new Pass8 event-level analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluid dynamics of relativistic blast waves

TL;DR: In this paper, a fluid dynamical treatment of an ultra-relativistic spherical blast wave enclosed by a strong shock is presented, and a simple similarity solution describing the explosion of a fixed amount of energy in a uniform medium is derived, and generalized to include cases in which power is supplied by a central source and the density of the external medium varies with radius.
