项目摘要

Gamma-rays are the highest energy form of electromagnetic radiation. Observations of astrophysical gamma-rays serve as probes of physical conditions and processes in the most extreme environments throughout the Universe, and can be used to test fundamental physics. This award supports scientists at the University of Delaware to carry out gamma-ray astrophysics research using a currently operating observatory and participate in the planning and development of a next-generation gamma-ray observatory. The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS), located in southern Arizona, is designed to perform high sensitivity pointed observations of both Galactic and extragalactic sources. The University of Delaware group will work on hardware and calibration tasks for VERITAS as well as analysis and interpretation of the scientific data from Galactic gamma-ray sources. The group is also involved in the technology development and scientific planning for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), an international gamma-ray observatory currently in the prototyping stage. The group will continue to organize and host the "Fermi Summer School," a two-week high energy astrophysics course for graduate students and post-docs. They will also continue to engage in a broad range of efforts in education and public outreach.The University of Delaware group will conduct both scientific analysis and hardware-related activities. They will use gamma-ray observations with VERITAS to study supernova remnants, gamma-ray binary systems, and new gamma-ray sources identified by the complementary High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory. They will also conduct prompt VERITAS follow-up observations to search for gamma-ray emission from sources of astrophysical neutrinos identified by IceCube, and mine the VERITAS archive for gamma-ray counterparts to the enigmatic Fast Radio Bursts. The group will work on the maintenance and calibration of VERITAS. They are involved with the hardware maintenance of the upgraded camera, and the development of a new calibration device. Finally, the group will participate in commissioning of the CTA prototype telescope at the VERITAS site. They will also lead the scientific planning for Galactic gamma-ray studies with CTA.

伽马射线是电磁辐射的最高能量形式。对天体物理学伽马射线的观测可以作为整个宇宙中最极端环境中的物理条件和过程的探测器，并可用于测试基础物理学。该奖项支持特拉华州大学的科学家利用目前运行的观测站开展伽马射线天体物理学研究，并参与下一代伽马射线观测站的规划和开发。位于亚利桑那州南部的甚高能辐射成像望远镜阵列系统（VERITAS）旨在对银河系和河外源进行高灵敏度的定点观测。特拉华州大学的小组将致力于VERITAS的硬件和校准任务，以及分析和解释来自银河伽马射线源的科学数据。该小组还参与了切伦科夫望远镜阵列（CTA）的技术开发和科学规划，这是一个目前处于原型阶段的国际伽马射线天文台。该小组将继续组织和主办“费米暑期学校”，这是一个为期两周的研究生和博士后高能天体物理学课程。他们还将继续在教育和公共宣传方面进行广泛的努力。特拉华州大学的小组将进行科学分析和硬件相关的活动。他们将使用VERITAS的伽马射线观测来研究超新星遗迹，伽马射线双星系统以及由补充的高海拔水切伦科夫天文台确定的新伽马射线源。他们还将进行及时的VERITAS后续观测，以寻找IceCube确定的天体物理中微子源的伽马射线发射，并挖掘VERITAS档案中神秘的快速射电暴的伽马射线对应物。该小组将负责VERITAS的维护和校准。他们参与了升级相机的硬件维护，以及新校准设备的开发。最后，该小组将参加在VERITAS场址的CTA原型望远镜的试运行。他们还将领导CTA对银河伽马射线研究的科学规划。
