高能质子驱动的gamma-ray强双星的中微子信号

Neutrino signal from gamma-ray loud binaries powered by high energy protons

A. Neronov, M. Ribordy

摘要:

我们提出了一个强子模型的活动银河伽玛射线响亮的双星,其中多TeV的中微子通量从源可以更高和/或更难比检测到的TeV的伽玛射线通量。这与大多数中微子产生于靠近明亮大质量恒星的pp相互作用中有关,在TeV伽马射线光学厚度的区域。考虑到LS I +61 o 303的具体例子,我们从各种质子注入光谱与所观察到的多波长光谱兼容的中微子通量的上限。在中微子发射的这个较高水平上,我们证明了ICECUBE不仅可以在5 σ C. L.处探测到这个源。在运行一年后,但在暴露三年后,也将收集到足以限制中微子信号光谱特征的样本,这些特征与潜在的源加速机制直接相关。

英文摘要:

We present a hadronic model of activity for Galactic gamma-ray-loud binaries, in which the multi-TeV neutrino flux from the source can be much higher and/or harder than the detected TeV gamma-ray flux. This is related to the fact that most neutrinos are produced in pp interactions close to the bright massive star, in a region optically thick for the TeV gamma-rays. Considering the specific example of LS I +61o 303, we derive upper bounds for neutrino fluxes from various proton injection spectra compatible with the observed multi-wavelength spectrum. At this upper level of neutrino emission, we demonstrate that ICECUBE will not only detect this source at 5 sigma C.L. after one year of operation, but, after 3 years of exposure, will also collect a sample marginally sufficient to constrain the spectral characteristics of the neutrino signal, directly related to the underlying source acceleration mechanisms.
