Secondary photons and neutrinos produced in the interactions of cosmic ray protons emitted by distant Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with the photon background along the line of sight can reveal a wealth of new information about the intergalactic magnetic fields (IGMF), extragalactic background light (EBL), and the acceleration mechanisms of cosmic rays. The secondary photons may have already been observed by gamma-ray telescopes. We show that the secondary neutrinos improve the prospects of discovering distant blazars by IceCube, and we discuss the ramifications for the cosmic backgrounds, magnetic fields, and AGN models.

  1. Variability Study of Extreme Blazars with VERITAS

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For three extreme blazars, VERITAS finds band-to-band correlations partly consistent with one-zone emission, while the TeV opacity analysis cannot rule out secondary gamma-ray production.

  2. Multi-TeV flaring in nearby High Energy Blazars: A photohadronic scenario

    astro-ph.HE 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Review applies the photohadronic model with EBL corrections to explain multi-TeV flaring in three nearby blazars.
