河外Gamma Ray背景的组成

Components of the Extragalactic Gamma Ray Background

Floyd W. Stecker, Tonia M. Venters

摘要:

我们提出了新的理论估计未解决的耀变体和恒星形成星系的河外伽玛射线背景(EGB)的相对贡献,并讨论了约束的贡献,从替代机制,如暗物质湮灭和真正的扩散伽玛射线生产。我们发现,费米源计数数据不排除的情况下,EGB是占主导地位的排放未解决的耀变体,虽然未解决的恒星形成星系也可能有助于显着的背景,在数量级的不确定性。此外,我们发现,光谱的未解决的恒星形成星系的贡献不能解释的EGB光谱EGRET发现的能量在50和200 MeV之间,而光谱的未解决的FSRQs,占能源依赖的影响源混淆时,可以与低能量EGRET EGB测量和费米-LAT EGB测量的组合光谱一致。

英文摘要:

We present new theoretical estimates of the relative contributions of unresolved blazars and star-forming galaxies to the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB) and discuss constraints on the contributions from alternative mechanisms such as dark matter annihilation and truly diffuse gamma-ray production. We find that the Fermi source count data do not rule out a scenario in which the EGB is dominated by emission from unresolved blazars, though unresolved star-forming galaxies may also contribute significantly to the background, within order-of-magnitude uncertainties. In addition, we find that the spectrum of the unresolved star-forming galaxy contribution cannot explain the EGB spectrum found by EGRET at energies between 50 and 200 MeV, whereas the spectrum of unresolved FSRQs, when accounting for the energy-dependent effects of source confusion, could be consistent with the combined spectrum of the low-energy EGRET EGB measurements and the Fermi-LAT EGB measurements.
