扩散gamma-ray发射的费米LAT测量:第一年里程碑的结果

Fermi LAT measurements of diffuse gamma-ray emission: results at the first-year milestone

Luigi Tibaldo

摘要:

一年多来,费米大面积望远镜一直在以前所未有的统计数据和角分辨率测量20 MeV到300 GeV以上的伽马射线天空。费米任务的关键科学目标之一是漫射伽马射线发射。银河系星际伽马射线辐射是高能宇宙射线与星际气体和辐射场相互作用产生的。我们回顾了迄今为止在这个问题上获得的最重要的结果:EGRET观测到的过量GeV弥散辐射的非确认,局部星际气体的γ射线发射率谱的测量,宇宙射线密度梯度和外星系X(CO)=N(H2)/W(CO)比的研究。我们还瞥见了大麦云星云中弥漫的伽马射线辐射。这些结果可以改进银河系弥漫伽马射线发射的大尺度模型和河外伽马射线背景的新测量。

英文摘要:

For more than one year the Fermi Large Area Telescope has been surveying the gamma-ray sky from 20 MeV to more than 300 GeV with unprecedented statistics and angular resolution. One of the key science targets of the Fermi mission is diffuse gamma-ray emission. Galactic interstellar gamma-ray emission is produced by interactions of high-energy cosmic rays with the interstellar gas and radiation field. We review the most important results on the subject obtained so far: the non-confirmation of the excess of diffuse GeV emission seen by EGRET, the measurement of the gamma-ray emissivity spectrum of local interstellar gas, the study of the gradient of cosmic-ray densities and of the X(CO)=N(H2)/W(CO) ratio in the outer Galaxy. We also catch a glimpse at diffuse gamma-ray emission in the Large Magellanic Cloud. These results allow the improvement of large-scale models of Galactic diffuse gamma-ray emission and new measurements of the extragalactic gamma-ray background.
