  9. High Energy Stereoscopic System Four 12 m diameter telescopes running since ~ 1yr in Namibia (16 in the future?) Eth 100 GeV Cherenkov light is emitted by showers induced by high-energy gamma rays This light is very faint - about 10 gs/m2 at Eg=100 GeV - and the duration of the light flash is only a few nsec. Large mirrors, fast photon detectors and short signal-integration times are required to collect enough light from the shower, with minimal contamination from night-sky background light. g direction < 0.1

  18. The fireball model Compactness problem: the optical depth for pair production very high if initial energy emitted from a volume with radius R <c dt ~300 km with dt = variability time scale ~ ms in photons with the observed spectrum  this would imply thermal spectra contrary t observations Solution: relativistic motion dimension of source R <G2 c dt and Eobs = G Emitted A fireball (, e, baryon loading <10-5 Msun to reach observed G) forms due to the high energy density, that expands. When it becomes optically thin it emits the observed radiation through the dissipation of particle kinetic energy into relativistic shocks External shocks: relativistic matter runs on external medium, interstellar or wind earlier emitted by the progenitor Internal shocks: inner engine emits many shells with different Lorentz factors colliding into one another, and thermalizing a fraction of their kinetic energy Teresa Montaruli, 5 - 7 Apr. 2005 Review

Active Galactic Nuclei Rotating massive BH with jets along rotation axis with matter outflow + accretion disc Spectra have a thermal part due to synchrotron radiation of electrons in a magnetic field (UV bump at optical-UV frequencies)+non thermal component extending up to 20 orders of magnitude explained by leptonic/hadronic models Neutrino production in pg or pp processes VLA image of Cygnus A Teresa Montaruli, 5 - 7 Apr. 2005
