AbstractHESS J1731−347 a.k.a. SNR G353.6−0.7 is one of the five known very high energy (VHE, Energy > 0.1 TeV) shell-type supernova remnants. We carried out Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of this TeV SNR in 1390, 610 and 325 MHz bands. We detected the 325 and 610 MHz radio counterparts of the SNR G353.6−0.7 (Nayana et al. 2017). We also determined the spectral indices of individual filaments and our values are consistent with the non-thermal radio emission. We compared the radio morphology with that of VHE emission. The peak in radio emission corresponds to the faintest feature in the VHE emission. We explain this anti-correlated emission in a possible leptonic origin of the VHE γ-rays.

The MAGIC telescope with its 17m diameter mirror is today the largest operating single-dish Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT). It is located on the Canary Island La Palma, at an altitude of 2200 m above sea level, as part of the Roque de los Muchachos European Northern Observatory. The MAGIC telescope detects celestial very high energy γ-radiation in the energy band between about 50 GeV and 10 TeV. Since the autumn of 2004 MAGIC has been taking data routinely, observing various objects, like supernova remnants (SNRs), γ-ray binaries, Pulsars, Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and Gamma-ray Bursts (GRB). We briefly describe the observational strategy, the procedure implemented for the data analysis, and discuss the results of observations of Galactic Sources.

AbstractAs revealed by the Fermi-LAT, blazars represent the dominant population of γ-ray emitters. An essential step for understanding blazar physics and the emission mechanisms is the investigation of a possible connection between the observed low- and high-energy emission. A number of works report on the existence of a significant correlation between radio emission and 0.1-100 GeV γ rays. How does this correlation evolve when very high energy (VHE, E > 0.1 TeV) γ rays are considered? The possible radio-VHE emission connection is still elusive mainly because of the lack of a homogeneous VHE sky coverage. In this work we explore the connection between the parsec-scale radio emission and GeV-TeV γ rays by using two unbiased blazar samples extracted from the 1FHL ( E > 10 GeV) and 2FHL (E > 50 GeV) Fermi catalogs. For comparison, we perform the same analysis by using the 3FGL 0.1-300 GeV γ-ray energy flux. Overall, we find out that there is no significant connection between radio and γ-ray emission above 10 GeV for all the blazar sub-classes with the exception of high synchrotron peaked objects. Conversely, when 0.1-300 GeV γ-ray energies are considered, a strong and significant correlation is found for all of the blazar sub-classes. We interpret these results within the context of the blazar spectral energy distribution properties.

A search has been made for very high energy photons from the direction of the Crab Pulsar using the Lodz extensive air shower array. This device is particularly suitable for such a study because it consists of a large muon detector which can be used to search for the characteristic muon poor showers.

The Cygnus Region is one of the brightest regions in all ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum and contains a number of potential GeV and TeV emission sources. It includes active star formation regions, pulsars and supernova remnants. Some of the sources have been detected at high and very high energies. One of them discovered due to its proximity to the well-known microquasar Cyg X-3 is the object TeV J2032+4130. This object is still of unresolved nature and is being intensively studied in different energy ranges. The results of twenty-year observations of TeV J2032+4130 by the SHALON experiment are presented in this paper. The collected experimental data on fluxes, spectrum shape and morphology of TeV J2032+413 can help in the future to determine an object type and reveal mechanisms of generation of very high energy emission.

Abstractγ-ray binaries are systems that emit most of their radiative power above 1 MeV. They are associated with O or Be stars in orbit with a compact object, possibly a young pulsar. Much like colliding wind binaries, the pulsar generates a relativistic wind that interacts with the stellar wind. The result is non-thermal emission from radio to very high energy γ-rays. The wind, radiation and magnetic field of the massive star play a major role in the dynamics and radiative output of the system. They are particularly important to understand the high energy physics at work. Inversely, γ-ray binaries offer novel probes of stellar winds and insights into the fate of O/B binaries.

AbstractThe detection of Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) in the Very High Energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) range is challenging, mainly because of their steep soft spectra and distance. Nevertheless four FSRQs are now known to be VHE emitters. The detection of the VHE γ-rays has challenged the emission models of these sources. The sources are also found to exhibit very different behavior. I will give an overview of what is known about the VHE emission of these sources and about the multiwavelength signatures that are connected to the VHE gamma-ray emission.
