Proceedings ArticleDOI

The ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Satellite

Tadayuki Takahashi, +252 more
TL;DR: The ASTRO-H mission as mentioned in this paper is equipped with a suite of sensitive instruments with the highest energy resolution ever achieved at E > 3 keV and a wide energy range spanning four decades in energy from soft X-rays to gamma-rays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nomads of the Galaxy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate that there may be up to 105 compact objects in the mass range 10−8−10−2 M⊙ per main-sequence star that are unbound to a host star in the Galaxy.
Journal ArticleDOI

A subhorizon framework for probing the relationship between the cosmological matter distribution and metric perturbations

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the metric and non-relativistic matter distribution depends on the theory of gravity and additional fields, hence providing a possible way of distinguishing competing theories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Supplement: Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914

B. P. Abbott, +1539 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize past electromagnetic follow-up efforts as well as the organization and policy of the current EM followup program and compare the four probability sky maps produced for the gravitational-wave transient GW150914, and provide additional details of the EM follow up observations that were performed in the different bands.
Journal ArticleDOI

HAWC observations of the acceleration of very-high-energy cosmic rays in the Cygnus Cocoon

Anushka Udara Abeysekara, +107 more
- 11 Mar 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the Cygnus Cocoon is considered to be a source of very high-energy (TeV to PeV) Galactic cosmic rays, and the measured flux likely originates from hadronic interactions.
