Gamma-ray Novae: Rare or Nearby? (2016)
Journal Article
Morris, P., Cotter, G., Brown, A., & Chadwick, P. (2017). Gamma-ray Novae: Rare or Nearby?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 465(1), 1218-1226. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2776

Classical novae were revealed as a surprise source of γ-rays in Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) observations. During the first 8 yr since the LAT was launched, 6 novae in total have been detected to >5σ in γ-rays, in contrast to the 69 discovered op... Read More about Gamma-ray Novae: Rare or Nearby?.

The Gamma-ray Cherenkov Telescope (GCT) is proposed for the Small-Sized Telescope component of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). GCT's dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder (SC) optical system allows the use of a compact camera with small form-factor p... Read More about The GCT camera for the Cherenkov Telescope Array.

Localizing the γ-ray emission region during the 2014 June outburst of 3C 454.3 (2016)
Journal Article
Coogan, R. T., Brown, A. M., & Chadwick, P. M. (2016). Localizing the γ-ray emission region during the 2014 June outburst of 3C 454.3. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 458(1), 354-365. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw199

In 2014 May–July, the flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 454.3 exhibited strong flaring behaviour. Observations with the Large Area Telescope detector on-board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope captured the γ-ray flux at energies 0.1 ≤ Eγ ≤ 300 GeV incr...
