费米在第一年看到的月球gamma ray发射

Lunar gamma ray emission seen during the first year by Fermi

N. Giglietto

摘要:

我们报告的探测月球伽玛射线发射在第一年的费米-LAT观测。这种辐射是由宇宙射线核与月球表面相互作用产生的。由于太阳活动极小期的条件和日光层调制效应的减弱,撞击月球表面的银河宇宙射线的通量增加,使月球的通量达到最大。Fermi-LAT仪器具有优越的灵敏度、角分辨率,每两个轨道观测一次全天。这是唯一能够高度可靠地探测月球辐射并在整个第24个太阳活动周期内对其进行监测的伽马射线飞行任务。我们还报告了在黄道平面上搜索主要行星和小行星群的伽马射线发射的状况。

英文摘要:

We report the detection of the lunar gamma-ray emission during the first year of Fermi-LAT observations. Such emission is produced by cosmic ray nuclei interacting with the lunar surface. Thanks to the solar minimum conditions and the reduced effects of heliospheric modulation, the lunar flux was at its maximum due to the increased flux of Galactic cosmic rays hitting the lunar surface. Fermi-LAT instrument has a superior sensitivity, angular resolution, and observes the whole sky every two orbits. It is the only gamma-ray mission capable of detecting the lunar emission with high confidence and to monitor it over the full 24th solar cycle. We also report the status of a search of the gamma-ray emission from major planets and asteroid populations in the ecliptic plane.
