Electromagnetic extraction of energy from Kerr black holes
FERMI LARGE AREA TELESCOPE FIRST SOURCE CATALOG
We present a catalog of high-energy gamma-ray sources detected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT), the primary science instrument on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi), during the first 11… Expand
Hydromagnetic flows from accretion discs and the production of radio jets
THE SPECTRAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTION OF FERMI BRIGHT BLAZARS
We have conducted a detailed investigation of the broadband spectral properties of the gamma-ray selected blazars of the Fermi LAT Bright AGN Sample (LBAS). By combining our accurately estimated… Expand
Fermi Large Area Telescope Second Source Catalog
We present the second catalog of high-energy γ-ray sources detected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT), the primary science instrument on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi), derived from data… Expand
Relativistic jets as compact radio sources
Variable extragalactic radio sources, associated with the nuclei of galaxies and quasars, are interpreted in terms of a supersonic relativistic jet. It is proposed that radio emission originates both… Expand
LSST: From Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products
TLDR
The LSST design is driven by four main science themes: probing dark energy and dark matter, taking an inventory of the solar system, exploring the transient optical sky, and mapping the Milky Way. Expand
Fluid dynamics of relativistic blast waves
A fluid dynamical treatment of an ultra‐relativistic spherical blast wave enclosed by a strong shock is presented. A simple similarity solution describing the explosion of a fixed amount of energy in… Expand
Particle acceleration at astrophysical shocks: A theory of cosmic ray origin
Abstract The theory of first order Fermi acceleration at collisionless astrophysical shock fronts is reviewed. Observations suggest that shock waves in different astrophysical environments accelerate… Expand
Massive black hole binaries in active galactic nuclei
Most theoretical discussions of active galactic nuclei (including quasars) attribute their energy production either to an accreting black hole or to a precursor stage—for instance a dense star… Expand
