Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Novae are thermonuclear explosions on a white dwarf surface fueled by mass accreted from a companion star. Current physical models posit that shocked expanding gas from the nova shell can produce x-ray emission, but emission at higher energies has not been widely expected. Here, we report the Fermi Large Area Telescope detection of variable γ-ray emission (0.1 to 10 billion electron volts) from the recently detected optical nova of the symbiotic star V407 Cygni. We propose that the material of the nova shell interacts with the dense ambient medium of the red giant primary and that particles can be accelerated effectively to produce π0 decay γ-rays from proton-proton interactions. Emission involving inverse Compton scattering of the red giant radiation is also considered and is not ruled out.

HIGH-SPIN STATES IN ODD-ODD NUCLEI
- 1993
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- High-spin states in doubly odd nuclei of 124Cs, 126Cs and 124La have been investigated by gamma ray spectroscopy. Rotational bands of pih11/2 x nuh11/2 configuration have been assigned by the blocking argument on the first band crossing frequencies for neighboring odd-A nuclei. In cesium isotopes, the signature inversion of quasiparticle routhians has been observed. The spin of the band head in 124Cs has been determined to be (7+) by means of spectroscopic method. This spin assignment implies that the signature inversion occurs at low spin. The signature dependence becomes normal at higher spins than 17hBAR. The occurrence of the signature inversion in the A approximately 130 mass region is discussed by comparing excitation energies, transition intensities and the shell-model orbits of valence nucleons with those of rare-earth nuclei.
