Very Long Baseline Interferometry Observations of the Proposed Radio Counterpart of an EGRET Source by Patrik Milán Veres, Krisztina Éva Gabányi, Sándor Frey

“…We present high-resolution radio interferometric imaging observations of the radio source NVSS J182659+343113 (hereafter J1826+3431), the proposed radio counterpart of the <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>γ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-ray source, 3EG J1824+3441 detected by the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on board the <i>Compton Gamma Ray Observatory</i> satellite. We analyzed eight epochs of archival multi-frequency very long baseline interferometry data. …”

The Temporal Symmetrical and Translational Structure in Gamma-Ray Burst Light Curves by Dong-Jie Liu, Yuan-Chuan Zou

“…Tremendous information is hidden in the light curve of a gamma-ray burst (GRB). Based on Compton Gamma Ray Observatory/Burst And Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) data, Hakkila found a majority of GRBs can be characterized by a smooth, single-peaked component superposed with a temporally symmetrical residual structure, i.e., a mirror feature for the fast-varying component. …”

Runaway electrons from a ‘beam-bulk’ model of streamer: application to TGFs by O Chanrion, Z Bonaventura, D Çinar, A Bourdon, T Neubert

“…The generation of x- and gamma-rays in atmospheric discharges has been studied intensively since the discovery of terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) by the Compton gamma-ray Observatory in 1991. Emissions are bremsstrahlung from high energy particles accelerated in large scale atmospheric electric fields associated with thunderstorms. …”
