AbstractThe particle dynamics and in the stellar magnetosphere during gravitational collapse is investigated. The formations of relativistic jets and the generation of the radiation bursts in the stellar magnetosphere by gravitational collapse are considered. As follows from results, the stars on the stage of gravitational collapse must be powerful sources of the relativistic jets and the non-thermal radiation. These jets will formed in the polar caps of collapsing stars magnetospheres, when the stellar magnetic field increases during collapse and the charged particles will be accelerate. These jets will generate the non-thermal radiation. The radiation flux grows with decreasing stellar radius and can be observed in the form of radiation burst in wide band wave- from radio to gamma-ray. These bursts radiation can be observed as gamma- and X- rays bursts.

We present the state-of-the-art of the numerical simulations of the supernova (SN) explosion of a carbon-oxygen core [Formula: see text] that forms a compact binary with a neutron star (NS) companion, following the induced gravitational collapse (IGC) scenario of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated with type Ic supernovae (SNe). We focus on the consequences of the hypercritical accretion of the SN ejecta onto the NS companion which either becomes a more massive NS or gravitationally collapses forming a black hole (BH). We summarize the series of results on this topic starting from the first analytic estimates in 2012 all the way up to the most recent three-dimensional (3D) smoothed-particle-hydrodynamics (SPH) numerical simulations in 2018. We present a new SN ejecta morphology, highly asymmetric, acquired by binary interaction and leading to well-defined, observable signatures in the gamma- and X-rays emission of long GRBs.

ABSTRACT Cygnus X–1 is the first Galactic source confirmed to host an accreting black hole. It has been detected across the entire electromagnetic spectrum from radio to GeV gamma-rays. The source’s radio through mid-infrared radiation is thought to originate from the relativistic jets. The observed high degree of linear polarization in the MeV X-rays suggests that the relativistic jets dominate in this regime as well, whereas a hot accretion flow dominates the soft X-ray band. The origin of the GeV non-thermal emission is still debated, with both leptonic and hadronic scenarios deemed to be viable. In this work, we present results from a new semi-analytical, multizone jet model applied to the broad-band spectral energy distribution of Cygnus X–1 for both leptonic and hadronic scenarios. We try to break this degeneracy by fitting the first-ever high-quality, simultaneous multiwavelength data set obtained from the CHOCBOX campaign (Cygnus X–1 Hard state Observations of a Complete Binary Orbit in X-rays). Our model parametrizes dynamical properties, such as the jet velocity profile, the magnetic field, and the energy density. Moreover, the model combines these dynamical properties with a self-consistent radiative transfer calculation including secondary cascades, both of leptonic and hadronic origin. We conclude that sensitive TeV gamma-ray telescopes like Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will definitively answer the question of whether hadronic processes occur inside the relativistic jets of Cygnus X–1.

AbstractThe Galactic population of rotation-powered (aka radio) millisecond pulsars (MSPs) exhibits diverse X-ray properties. Energetic MSPs show pulsed non-thermal radiation from their magnetospheres. Eclipsing binary MSPs predominantly have X-ray emission from a pulsar wind driven intra-binary shock. Typical radio MSPs emit X-rays from their heated magnetic polar caps. These thermally emitting MSPs offer the opportunity to place interesting constraints on the long sought after dense matter equation of state, making them important targets of investigation of the recently deployed Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) X-ray mission.

AbstractThe formation of the relativistic jets and a non-thermal emission from the collapsing magnetized stars with dipole magnetic fields and the heterogeneous particles distribution are investigated. These polar jets are formed when the stellar magnetosphere compress during collapse its magnetic field increases considerable. The electric field is produced in magnetosphere, which the charged particles will be accelerated. As follow from the calculation, the jets can be formed from collapsing stars already the explosion of supernova stars without shock waves. These jets will generate the non-thermal radiation. The radiation flux depends on the distance to the star, its magnetic field and the particle spectrum in the magnetosphere. This flux can be observed near Earth by means of modern telescopes in the form of the radiation pulse with duration equal to time collapse.

ABSTRACT Identification and characterization of a rapidly increasing number of pulsar wind nebulae is, and will continue to be, a challenge of high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics. Given that such systems constitute -by far- the most numerous expected population in the TeV regime, such characterization is important not only to learn about the sources per se from an individual and population perspective, but also to be able to connect them with observations at other frequencies, especially in radio and X-rays. Also, we need to remove the emission from nebulae in highly confused regions of the sky for revealing other underlying emitters. In this paper, we present a new approach for theoretical modelling of pulsar wind nebulae: a hybrid hydrodynamic-radiative model able to reproduce morphological features and spectra of the sources, with relatively limited numerical cost.

It has been often suggested that a tangible relation exists between relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the morphology of their host galaxies. In particular, relativistic jets may commonly be related to merging events. Here we present for the first time a detailed spectroscopic and morphological analysis of a Seyfert galaxy, SDSS J211852.96−073227.5, at z = 0.26. This source has previously been classified as a gamma-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy. We re-observed it with the 6.5 m Clay Telescope and these new, high-quality spectroscopic data have revealed that it is actually an intermediate-type Seyfert galaxy. Furthermore, the results of modelling the Ks-band near-infrared images obtained with the 6.5 m Baade Telescope indicate that the AGN is hosted by a late-type galaxy in an interacting system, strengthening the suggested connection between galaxy interactions and relativistic jets.
