Centaurus A, the cosmic ray accelerator a few Mpc away from us is possibly one of the nearest sources of extremely high energy cosmic rays. We investigate whether the gamma ray data currently available from Centaurus A in the GeV-TeV energy…
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are believed to be the source of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). Particles are assumed to be accelerated in the accretion disk and the plasma jets, produced due to conservation of angular momentum, to…
Very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays have been detected from the direction of the Galactic center. The H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescopes have located this gamma-ray source with a preliminary position uncertainty of 8.5" per axis (6" statistic + 6"…
The detection of astrophysical very high energy (VHE) neutrinos in the range of TeV-PeV energies by the IceCube observatory has opened a new season in high energy astrophysics. Energies ~PeV imply that the neutrinos are originated from…
We search for the gamma-ray counterparts of stellar-mass black holes using long-term Fermi archive to investigate the electrostatic acceleration of electrons and positrons in the vicinity of the event horizon, by applying the pulsar…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have long been considered as candidates of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). We investigate the signatures of CR proton acceleration in the GRBs by consistently taking into account their hadronic and…
The radio galaxy Cen A has been detected all the way up to the TeV energy range. This raises the question about the dominant emission mechanisms in the high-energy domain. Spectral analysis allows us to put constraints on the possible…
In this paper, we report the detection of the very-high-energy (VHE, $ 100{\rm\ GeV} < E < 100{\rm\ TeV} $) and ultra-high-energy (UHE, $E > 100\rm\ TeV$) $\gamma$-ray emissions from the direction of the young star-forming region W43,…
The {\it Fermi} Large Area Telescope has recently discovered two giant gamma-ray bubbles which extend north and south of the Galactic center with diameters and heights of the order of $H\sim 10$ kpc. We suggest that the periodic star…
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) accelerated in the jets of active galactic nuclei can accumulate in high magnetic field, ~100 kpc-scale regions surrounding powerful radio galaxies. Photohadronic processes involving UHECRs and photons…
We report on an analysis of \fermi data from four year of observations of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A). The increased photon statistics results in a detection of high-energy ($>\:100$ MeV) $\gamma$-rays up to 50 GeV from the…
The origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays $($UHECRs$)$ remains a mystery. It has been suggested that UHECRs can be produced by the stochastic acceleration in relativistic jets of gamma-ray bursts $($GRBs$)$ at the early afterglow phase.…
Relativistic jets around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are well-known powerful $\gamma$-ray emitters. In absence of the jets in radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGNs), how the SMBHs work in $\gamma$-ray bands is still unknown despite…
Large number of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) producing Very-High-Energy (VHE) gamma-rays (energies above 100~GeV) has been revealed using observations with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). However, our knowledge of the VHE…
The production of very-high-energy (VHE, $E_{\gamma} \gtrsim 100$ GeV) gamma rays resulting from the scattering of high-energy cosmic-ray protons off axion-like particles (ALPs) populating the dark matter halo of the Milky Way is…
We investigate the production of ultra-high-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) in relativistic jets from low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGN). We start by proposing a model for the UHECR contribution from the black holes (BHs) in LLAGN,…
Understanding the origins of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) - which reach energies in excess of $10^{20}~{\rm eV}$ - stretches particle acceleration physics to its very limits. In this review, we discuss how such energies can be…
We demonstrate that the energy spectra of Ultra High Energy Cosmic rays (UHECR) as observed by AGASA, Fly's Eye, HiRes and Yakutsk detectors, have the imprints of UHE proton interaction with the CMB radiation in the form of the dip at…
Non-blazar radio-galaxies emitting in the very-high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) regime offer a unique perspective for probing particle acceleration and emission processes in black hole (BH) accretion-jet systems. The misaligned nature of these…
The origin and acceleration mechanism of cosmic rays (CRs) remain fundamental open questions. Galaxy mergers are proposed as very high-energy CR accelerators, which are expected to produce high-energy (HE) $\gamma$ rays and neutrinos…
