AbstractA one-meter wide field astronomical telescope with Alt-Az mount, putting in work at prime focus with field corrector, is located at the Nanshan site of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory. The Nanshan One meter Wide-field Telescope (hereafter NOWT) provides excellent optical quality, pointing accuracy and tracking accuracy. The main scientific goals of NOWT are supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, novae, variable stars, and active galactic nuclei. It is worthwhile to point out that the sky background at the Nanshan is a classic optical site.

Abstract Extra-galactic gamma-ray sources, such as gamma-ray bursts, active galactic nuclei, starburst galaxies, are interesting and important targets for LHAASO observations. In this chapter, the prospects of detecting these sources with LHAASO and their physical implications are studied. The upgrade plan for the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA), which aims to enhance the detectability of relatively lower energy photons, is also presented. In addition, a study on constraining the extragalactic background light with LHAASO observation of blazars is presented.

The Universe

The extragalactic gamma-ray sky is dominated by two classes of sources: Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and radio loud active galactic nuclei whose jets are pointing at us (blazars). We believe that the radiation we receive from them originates from the transformation of bulk relativistic energy into random energy. Although the mechanisms to produce, collimate and accelerate the jets in these sources are uncertain, it is fruitful to compare the characteristics of both classes of sources in search of enlightening similarities. I will review some general characteristics of radio loud AGNs and GRBs and I will discuss the possibility that both classes of sources can work in the same way. Finally, I will discuss some recent exciting prospects to use blazars to put constraints on the cosmic IR-Optical-UV backgrounds, and to use GRBs as standard candles to measure the Universe.

AbstractHigh energy photon radiations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are dominated by their jet radiations. It was suggested that relativistic jets powered by different mass-scale black holes may share the same physical laws. A tight relation among the peak luminosity, the peak photon energy in the νfν spectrum, and the initial Lorentz factor is found for GRBs. With samples of GeV-TeV BL Lacs, FSRQs, and NLS1 galaxies, we show that these sources do not follow this relation. This may be attributed to the jet geometry and continuous/episodic jet as well as radiation physics for different kinds of sources.

In this letter, we assume that negative mass objects can exist in the extragalactic space and analyze the consequences of their microlensing on light from distant active galactic nuclei. We find that such events have very similar features to some observed gamma ray bursts and use recent satellite data to set an upper bound to the amount of negative mass in the universe.
