摘要:

本文报告了大口径望远镜在\textit{Fermi}任务中对第三象限中纬度地区(从$200\arcdeg$到$260\arcdeg$的银河经度$l$和从$22\arcdeg$到$60\arcdeg$的纬度$| b |$)的$γ$ -射线的观测。该地区不包含已知的大分子云,大部分氢原子位于太阳系1千秒差距以内。计算了$γ$射线点源和逆康普顿散射的贡献,并将其相减.在100 MeV ~ 10 GeV的能量范围内,剩余的$γ$射线强度与原子气柱密度呈线性关系.测得的积分$γ$射线发射率分别为100 MeV以上的$(1.63 \pm 0.05) \times 10^{-26} {\rm photons s^{-1} sr^{-1} H\mathchar`-atom^{-1}}$和300 MeV以上的$(0.66 \pm 0.02) \times 10^{-26} {\rm photons s^{-1} sr^{-1} H\mathchar`-atom^{-1}}$,附加系统误差为$\sim 10%$ .在100 MeV-10 GeV的差分发射率同意与直接测量的宇宙射线光谱的基础上,在10%的水平一致的计算。结果表明,在所研究的区域,距太阳系1千秒差距以内的宇宙线核谱与在地球上直接测量的$\sim 10%$以内的星际谱接近。

英文摘要:

Observations by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the \textit{Fermi} mission of diffuse $γ$-rays in a mid-latitude region in the third quadrant (Galactic longitude $l$ from $200\arcdeg$ to $260\arcdeg$ and latitude $| b |$ from $22\arcdeg$ to $60\arcdeg$) are reported. The region contains no known large molecular cloud and most of the atomic hydrogen is within 1 kpc of the solar system. The contributions of $γ$-ray point sources and inverse Compton scattering are estimated and subtracted. The residual $γ$-ray intensity exhibits a linear correlation with the atomic gas column density in energy from 100 MeV to 10 GeV. The measured integrated $γ$-ray emissivity is $(1.63 \pm 0.05) \times 10^{-26} {\rm photons s^{-1} sr^{-1} H\mathchar`-atom^{-1}}$ and $(0.66 \pm 0.02) \times 10^{-26} {\rm photons s^{-1} sr^{-1} H\mathchar`-atom^{-1}}$ above 100 MeV and above 300 MeV, respectively, with additional systematic error of $\sim 10%$. The differential emissivity in 100 MeV--10 GeV agrees with calculations based on cosmic ray spectra consistent with those directly measured, at the 10% level. The results obtained indicate that cosmic ray nuclei spectra within 1 kpc from the solar system in regions studied are close to the local interstellar spectra inferred from direct measurements at the Earth within $\sim 10%$.
