扩展的太阳辐射--对EGRET数据的分析

Extended solar emission - an analysis of the EGRET data

Elena Orlando, Dirk Petry, Andrew Strong

摘要:

太阳最近被预测为伽马射线发射的扩展源,由宇宙射线电子与太阳辐射的逆康普顿散射产生。据预测,即使在距离太阳很大的角距离上,这种辐射也会对弥漫的河外背景产生影响。虽然这种排放预计在未来很容易被GLAST检测到,但现有EGRET数据的情况更具挑战性。我们提出了一个详细的研究EGRET数据库,使用随时间变化的分析,占从3C 279,月球和其他来源,干扰太阳信号的排放的影响。该技术已在月球信号上进行了测试,结果与以前的工作一致。我们发现了来自太阳及其附近的辐射的明确证据。观测结果与我们的扩展发射模型进行了比较。

英文摘要:

The Sun was recently predicted to be an extended source of gamma-ray emission, produced by inverse-Compton scattering of cosmic-ray electrons with the solar radiation. The emission was predicted to contribute to the diffuse extragalactic background even at large angular distances from the Sun. While this emission is expected to be readily detectable in future by GLAST, the situation for available EGRET data is more challenging. We present a detailed study of the EGRET database, using a time dependent analysis, accounting for the effect of the emission from 3C 279, the moon, and other sources, which interfere with the solar signal. The technique has been tested on the moon signal, with results consistent with previous work. We find clear evidence for emission from the Sun and its vicinity. The observations are compared with our model for the extended emission.
