Particle acceleration and magnetic field structure in PKS2155-304: optical polarimetric observations (2010)
Journal Article
Barres de Almeida, U., Ward, M., Dominici, T., Abraham, Z., Franco, G., Daniel, M., …Boisson, C. (2010). Particle acceleration and magnetic field structure in PKS2155-304: optical polarimetric observations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 408(3), 1778-1787. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.17236.x

In this paper, we present multiband optical polarimetric observations of the very-high energy blazar PKS 2155−304 made simultaneously with a HESS/Fermi high-energy campaign in 2008, when the source was found to be in a low state. The intense daily co... Read More about Particle acceleration and magnetic field structure in PKS2155-304: optical polarimetric observations.

Very high energy gamma-rays from Centaurus X-3: indications and implications (2002)
Journal Article
Atoyan, A., Aye, K., Chadwick, P., Daniel, M., Lyons, K., McComb, T., …Rayner, S. (2002). Very high energy gamma-rays from Centaurus X-3: indications and implications. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 383(3), 864-880. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361%3A20011732

We present the results of a detailed timing analysis of observations of Cen X-3 taken by the University of Durham Mark 6 imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope in 1997-1999. The presence of a TeV gamma -ray signal at the overall >= 4.5sigma signific... Read More about Very high energy gamma-rays from Centaurus X-3: indications and implications.
