11. Simulations of Tidal Disruption Events Observations with the LSSTKatja Bricman, 2017, magistrsko delo Opis: The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will produce a multi-colour survey of 25000 square deg of the Southern sky during its 10 years of operations. It will observe over 20 billion galaxies and a similar number of stars, map the Solar System and the Milky Way, and probe dark matter and dark energy. In addition, it will discover thousands of transients every night, including new classes of objects, which have not yet been observed. Due to its large coverage of the sky it will be a perfect tool for the search of rare Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs), which occur when a star passes close by a supermassive black hole and gets disrupted by its tidal force. Afterwards the stellar debris fall back to the black hole, initially at a rate exceeding
the Eddington rate, producing an outflow, which releases a flare of energy. When the fallback rate subsides below the Eddington rate, the gas accretes onto the black hole via accretion disk. The LSST simulation framework enables us to simulate observations of different types of objects with the LSST. In this work, we include TDEs in the LSST simulation framework, estimate the number of detected TDEs, and simulate their light curves using a theoretical model, which predicts a t^(-2.6) light curve decline with time in the outflow phase and a t^{-0.4} decline in the disk phase. We also take a closer look at the distribution of the detected TDEs over cosmological redshift and black hole mass.

18. Large-Scale Distribution of Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays Detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array above 10[sup]19 eVOlivier Deligny, Andrej Filipčič, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Ahmed Saleh, Samo Stanič, Marta Trini, Darko Veberič, Serguei Vorobiov, Lili Yang, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2015, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: The large-scale distribution of arrival directions of
high-energy cosmic rays is a key observable in attempts to
understanding their origin. The dipole and quadrupole moments
are of special interest in revealing potential anisotropies.
An unambiguous measurement of these moments as well as
of the full set of spherical harmonic coefficients requires
full-sky coverage. This can be achieved by combining data from
observatories located in both the northern and southern
hemispheres. To this end, a joint analysis using data recorded
at the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array above
10[sup]19 eV has been performed. Thanks to the full-sky
coverage, the measurement of the dipole moment reported in
this study does not rely on any assumption on the underlying
flux of cosmic rays. As well, the resolution on the quadrupole
and higher order moments is the best ever obtained. The
resulting multipolar expansion of the flux of cosmic rays
allows a series of anisotropy searches to be performed,
and in particular to report on the first angular power
spectrum of cosmic rays. This allows a comprehensive
description of the angular distribution of cosmic rays
above 10[sup]19 eV. Ključne besede: Pierre Auger Observatory, Telescope Array, high-energy cosmic rays, large-scale anisotropies, angular power spectrum Objavljeno v RUNG: 08.03.2016; Ogledov: 4560; Prenosov: 189 Celotno besedilo (462,61 KB) |
