Analytical solutions for energy spectra of electrons accelerated by nonrelativistic shock-waves in shell type supernova remnants
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived exact asymptotic solutions of the kinetic equation which describes the energy distribution of relativistic electrons formed via diffusive shock acceleration accompanied by intense nonthermal emission through synchrotron radiation and inverse Compton scattering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic fields in spiral galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used radio synchrotron emission, its polarization and Faraday rotation of the polarization angle to study the strength and structure of magnetic fields in galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galactic Cosmic Rays from Supernova Remnants. II. Shock Acceleration of Gas and Dust
TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative model of Galactic cosmic-ray origin and acceleration is presented, wherein a mixture of interstellar and/or circumstellar gas and dust is accelerated by a supernova remnant blast wave.

Radiatively efficient accreting black holes in the hard state: the case study of H1743-322
Mickael Coriat,Stephane Corbel,Stephane Corbel,L. Prat,James Miller-Jones,D. Cseh,Anastasios Tzioumis,Catherine Brocksopp,Jerome Rodriguez,Rob Fender,Gregory R. Sivakoff +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the radio and X-ray emission of H1743−322 were investigated and it was shown that the inner accretion flow is radiatively efficient during the hard state, in contrast to what is usually assumed for black hole Xray binaries in this spectral state.

Cosmic γ-ray background from structure formation in the intergalactic medium
Abraham Loeb,Eli Waxman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a small fraction of the cosmic microwave background photons in the local universe up to γ-ray energies can be attributed to unresolved discrete sources such as active galactic nuclei; the remainder appears to constitute a truly diffuse background.
