PWNe与分子云相互作用的Gamma-Ray辐射

Gamma-Ray Emission from PWNe Interacting with Molecular Clouds

H. Bartko, W. Bednarek

摘要:

我们考虑一种情况,其中脉冲星形成的内部或接近高密度区域的分子云。在诞生之后,脉冲星非常活跃,并将强子和轻子加速到非常高的能量。强子通过超新星遗迹(SNR)扩散,其中一些被困在附近的云与物质相互作用。我们扩展了最近的脉冲星风星云(PWNe)的伽马辐射的时间依赖模型来描述这个更复杂的天体物理场景。计算的例子是对两个天体IC443和W41进行的,这两个天体最近被发现是TeV伽马射线源。在这个模型中,低能量TeV的辐射应该与脉冲星的诞生地和密集的软辐射区域相关,而不是与它现在的位置相关,只要相对论粒子注入PWNa的速率在早期要有效得多。高能TeV辐射与稠密云的位置有关,稠密云由于其强磁场而能够捕获高能强子。

英文摘要:

We consider a situation in which a pulsar is formed inside or close to a high density region of a molecular cloud. Right after birth, the pulsar was very active and accelerated hadrons and leptons to very high energies. Hadrons diffuse through the supernova remnant (SNR) and some of them are trapped in the nearby cloud interacting with the matter. We extend a recent time-dependent model for the gamma-radiation of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) to describe this more complicated astrophysical scenario. The example calculations have been performed for two objects, IC443 and W41, which have recently been discovered as sources of TeV gamma-rays. In this model the low energy TeV emission should be correlated with the birth place of the pulsar and the region of dense soft radiation rather than with its present position, provided that the injection rate of relativistic particles into the PWNa has been much more efficient at early times. The high energy TeV emission should be correlated with the location of dense clouds which were able to capture high energy hadrons due to their strong magnetic fields.
