A Very-High-Energy Gamma-Ray View of the Transient Sky

Carosi, Alessandro; López-Oramas, Alicia

The development of the latest generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) over recent decades has led to the discovery of new extreme astrophysical phenomena in the very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray regime. Time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy are inevitably connected to the physics of transient VHE emitters,…

High-Energy Spectra of Black Hole and Neutron Star Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries

Pszota, Gábor

In the case of low-mass X-ray binaries, the companion star is often too faint for detection; therefore, there is no chance for dynamical studies to independently determine the mass of the compact object. In the absence of a mass estimate, one cannot make a distinction as to whether the binary hosts a black hole or neutron star. Therefore, the ques…
