Fermi Observations of High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission from GRB 080916C

Markus Ackermann, +219 more
- 27 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: The Gamma-ray Burst Monitor and Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi Observatory together record GRBs over a broad energy range spanning about 7 decades of gammaray energy, with the largest apparent energy release yet measured.
Journal ArticleDOI

A limit on the variation of the speed of light arising from quantum gravity effects

A. A. Abdo, +236 more
- 19 Nov 2009 - 
TL;DR: The detection of emission up to ∼31 GeV from the distant and short GRB, and no evidence for the violation of Lorentz invariance is found, which disfavour quantum-gravity theories in which the quantum nature of space–time on a very small scale linearly alters the speed of light.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface Brightness and Evolution of Galaxies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the use of apparent surface brightness, which depends only on the redshift and is independent of the cosmological model and the inhomogeneities in the universe, for observational determination of the evolution of galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fermi Observations of GRB 090902B: A Distinct Spectral Component in the Prompt and Delayed Emission

A. A. Abdo, +258 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) instruments on-board the Fermi observatory were used to observe the long gamma-ray burst, GRB 090902B.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the Nonthermal Emission and Acceleration of Electrons in Coma and Other Clusters of Galaxies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a spectrum for the radiating electrons and discussed possible acceleration scenarios for its production, and showed that continuous and in situ acceleration in the ICM of the background thermal electrons is difficult and requires unreasonably high energy input.
