Abstract:

The Zeiss CEM902, energy filtering electron microscope, can be used to image the structure of unstained 30 nm sections of biologic materials, to image the distribution of selected elements in such sections, and to determine electron energy loss spectra (EELS) of elements in areas as small as 10 nm. Although the integrated computer in the latest version of the CEM902 can collect and display signals from the scintillation detector for recording EELS, our instrument did not have this capability. Therefore, we have added a Leading Edge Model D personal computer with a 20 Mbyte hard disk, Hercules

AbstractPulsed non-thermal quiescent emission between 10 keV and around 150 keV has been observed in ~10 magnetars. For inner magnetospheric models of such hard X-ray signals, resonant Compton upscattering of soft thermal photons from the neutron star surface is the most efficient radiative process. We present angle-dependent hard X-ray upscattering model spectra for uncooled monoenergetic relativistic electrons. The spectral cut-off energies are critically dependent on the observer viewing angles and electron Lorentz factor. We find that electrons with energies less than around 15 MeV will em

Abstract:

Abstract Electron Compton scattering of target photons into the gamma-ray energy band (inverse Compton scattering; IC) is commonly expected to dominate the very high energy (VHE) spectra in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) especially during the afterglow phase. For sufficiently large center-of-mass energies in these collisions, the effect of the electron recoil starts reducing the scattering cross-section (the Klein–Nishina regime). The IC spectra generated in the Klein–Nishina regime is softer and has a smaller flux level compared to the synchrotron spectra produced by the same electrons. The detectio

Abstract:

It is generally held that >100 TeV emission from astrophysical objects unambiguously demonstrates the presence of PeV protons or nuclei, due to the unavoidable Klein–Nishina suppression of inverse Compton emission from electrons. However, in the presence of inverse Compton dominated cooling, hard high-energy electron spectra are possible. We show that the environmental requirements for such spectra can naturally be met in spiral arms, and in particular in regions of enhanced star formation activity, the natural locations for the most promising electron accelerators: powerful young pulsars.

AbstractIn this paper we analyze soft and hard X-ray emission of the 2002 September 20 M1.8 GOES class solar flare observed by RHESSI and GOES satellites, where soft X-ray emission precedes the onset of the main bulk hard X-ray emission by ~5 min. This suggests that an additional heating mechanism may be at work at the early beginning of the flare. However RHESSI spectra indicate presence of the non-thermal electrons also before impulsive phase. So, we assumed that a dominant energy transport mechanism during rise phase of solar flares is electron beam-driven evaporation. We used non-thermal e

It has been shown that high energy particle spectra, particle dynamics, and radiation in a flare loop are determined by wave-particle interactions. The electron-whistler interaction occurs under conditions of strong pitch angle diffusion that makes the particle distribution function isotropic. The flare loop electrons retain information about the particle source spectrum. The interaction of energetic ions with Alfven waves is characterized by strong, moderate, and weak diffusion.

AbstractA variety of high energy (>1 keV) spectra have been observed in recent years from Black Hole (BH) and Neutron Star (NS) X-ray Binaries (XB). Some common physical components exist between BHXBs and NSXBs, resulting in some high energy spectral features. A common component between a BHXB and a weakly magnetized NSXB is the inner accretion disk region extending very close to the surface (for a NS) or the horizon (for a BH). The inner disk radiation can be described by a multi-color blackbody (MCB) spectral model. The surface radiation of the NS can be approximated by a Single Color Bla

In the case of an NS, on the contrary, accreting material is decelerated on the NS surface, and its kinetic energy is eventually radiated away.

Abstract:

The first appearance of tungsten-free hard alloys (TFHA) was noted in the early 30s of the last century, but they did not receive due attention and, accordingly, spread due to insufficient strength and were replaced by tungsten-containing alloys of such groups as VK, TC and TTK. However, the rapidly developing shortage of expensive tungsten pushed in the late 50s to return to the search for hard alloys, the composition of which does not include tungsten. Due to the growing demand for tungsten-free hard alloys, the problem of recycling their waste with the possibility of reuse is acute in the i

I review radiative processes responsible for X-ray emission in the hard (low) and soft (high) spectral states of black-hole binaries. The main process in the hard state appears to be thermal Comptonization (in a hot plasma) of blackbody photons emitted by a cold disk. This is supported by correlations between the spectral index, the strength of Compton reflection, and the peak frequencies in the power-density spectrum, as well as by the frequency-dependence of Fourier-resolved spectra. Spectral variability may then be driven by the variable truncation radius of the disk. The soft state appears

AbstractBursts have been observed by the gamma-ray spectrometer on SMM at medium- and high-energy gamma-rays that precede the flare maximum. The negligible contribution of nuclear lines in the spectra of these events and their impulsive appearance suggests that they are hard-electron-dominated events superposed on the flares. Spatial resolution at gamma-ray energies will be necessary to decide whether this kind of bursts is cospatial with the flares or whether they occur in the flares’ vicinity.Subject headings: Sun: flares — Sun: X-rays, gamma rays

ABSTRACT Relativistic jets launched by rotating black holes are powerful emitters of non-thermal radiation. Extraction of the rotational energy via electromagnetic stresses produces magnetically dominated jets, which may become turbulent. Studies of magnetically dominated plasma turbulence from first principles show that most of the accelerated particles have small pitch angles, i.e. the particle velocity is nearly aligned with the local magnetic field. We examine synchrotron self-Compton radiation from anisotropic particles in the fast cooling regime. The small pitch angles reduce the synchro

Compact laser plasma accelerators generate high-energy electron beams with increasing quality.

Such a laser chirp, together with a properly dispersed electron beam, can substantially reduce the broadening of the Compto

The diffuse emission was spatially consistent with the Jovian inner magnetosphere and was spectrally fitted with a flat power-law function suggesting non-thermal emission. Thus, a scenario in which ultra-relativistic (tens of MeV) electrons in the Jovian inner magnetosphere inverse-Comptonize solar visible photons into X-ray bands has been

For comparison, we also apply the model to Mrk 421 and Mrk 501, which are the potential candidates for the hard TeV emissions. We demonstrate that the model can satisfactorily reproduce

During the flare event (inverse Compton) scattering of soft photons from the underlying disk into hard photons occurs on accelerated electrons in current sheets.

We show that a static corona above an accretion disc extending to the innermost stable circular orbit produces spectra not compatible with those observed. They are either too soft or require a much higher disc ionization than that observed. This conclusion confirms a number of previous find

For elements with low atomic number, or shallow absorption edges falling in the energy range below ~1 keV, x-ray absorption studies are often limited by surface sensitivity and the necessity of a vacuum environment, making bulk-sensitive measurements and for example studies of liquids difficult.

It is used to measure a photon-in-photon-out process, where a hard x-ray photon loses only part of its energy creating an excitation of an inner core electron. As such, it is the x-ray analogue of electron energy loss spe

The observed spectral evolution deviates from the model predictions when the burst luminosity drops below a critical value of 20–70% of the maximum luminosity.
