摘要:

我们提出了一个目录的非常高的能量(E>100 GeV)的伽马射线源检测的大面积望远镜(LAT)的费米伽马射线空间望远镜在银河系纬度|b| >=10度。我们交叉相关的费米/LAT检测到的能量超过100 GeV的单个光子的方向与第一年费米目录中检测到的低能量源。我们发现最高能量光子的到达方向和费米源的位置之间存在显著的相关性,在1 e-45水平上存在偶然巧合的可能性。我们提出了一个费米源的相关信号的列表。一个类似的分析进行交叉相关的目录BL Lac对象与费米探测到的最高能量光子。我们产生一个目录的高银河系纬度费米源可见100-300 GeV的能量。目录分为两部分。第一部分包含50个较高重要性源的列表,其中可能存在三种可能的错误检测。目录的第二部分包含25个较低重要性源的列表,其中6个可能是错误检测。最后,我们确定了8个额外的来源与BL Lac目录的互相关分析。报道的E>100 GeV的伽马射线源跨越了很宽的红移范围,最高可达z~1。大部分的源是BL Lac型天体。在我们的列表中,83个物体中只有17个以前被报道为VHE伽马射线源。

英文摘要:

We present a catalog of sources of very high energy (E>100 GeV) gamma-rays detected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope at Galactic latitudes |b|>=10 degrees. We cross-correlate the directions of individual photons with energies above 100 GeV detected by Fermi/LAT with the first year Fermi catalog of sources detected at lower energies. We find a significant correlation between the arrival directions of the highest energy photons and positions of Fermi sources, with the possibility of chance coincidences at the level of 1e-45. We present a list of Fermi sources contributing to the correlation signal. A similar analysis is performed to cross-correlate the catalog of BL Lac objects with the highest energy photons detected by Fermi. We produce a catalog of high Galactic latitude Fermi sources visible at 100-300 GeV energies. The catalog is divided into two parts. The first part contains a list of 50 higher significance sources among which there can be three possible false detections. The second part of the catalog contains a list of 25 lower significance sources, among which six are possibly false detections. Finally we identify eight additional sources from the cross-correlation analysis with the BL Lac catalog. The reported sources of E>100 GeV gamma-rays span a broad range of redshifts, up to z~1. Most of the sources are BL Lac type objects. Only 17 out of 83 objects in our list were previously reported as VHE gamma-ray sources.
