最高能量宇宙射线到达方向的VERITAS观测

VERITAS Observations of the Arrival Directions of the Highest Energy Cosmic Rays

J. Holder

摘要:

皮埃尔·俄歇合作组最近发现,最高能量宇宙射线的到达方向各向异性与附近活动星系核的位置有关,这鼓励人们寻找对应的TeV伽马射线发射。在北半球伽玛射线望远镜阵列VERITAS的合理高度上,南半球皮埃尔·俄歇实验观测到的大约一半的天空也是可见的。我们报告的第一次观察VERITAS的超高能宇宙射线事件的到达方向相关的区域。

英文摘要:

The recent discovery by the Pierre Auger collaboration of anisotropy in the arrival directions of the highest energy cosmic rays, correlated with the positions of nearby active galactic nuclei, encourages the search for counterpart TeV gamma-ray emission. Approximately half of the sky viewed by the southern hemisphere Pierre Auger experiment is also visible at reasonable elevations for the northern hemisphere gamma-ray telescope array, VERITAS. We report on first observations by VERITAS of regions associated with the arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic ray events.
