由gamma ray数据确定星系际磁场

Determination of intergalactic magnetic fields from gamma ray data

Warren Essey, Shin'ichiro Ando, Alexander Kusenko

摘要:

本文报道了利用大气切伦科夫望远镜和费米伽玛射线空间望远镜的组合数据,仅根据光谱数据测量星系际磁场的结果。如果假设耀变体同时产生伽马射线和宇宙射线,观测到的光谱对源的本征光谱不敏感,因为对于遥远的耀变体,在视线宇宙射线相互作用中产生的次级光子占主导地位。在这种情况下,我们发现0.01 fG < B < 30 fG。如果不考虑宇宙射线的成分,那么0.01 fG的下限仍然存在,但上限取决于源的光谱特性。我们提出了各种模型参数的允许范围。

英文摘要:

We report a measurement of intergalactic magnetic fields using combined data from Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes and Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, based on the spectral data alone. If blazars are assumed to produce both gamma rays and cosmic rays, the observed spectra are not sensitive to the intrinsic spectrum of the source, because, for a distant blazar, secondary photons produced in line-of-sight cosmic-ray interactions dominate the signal. In this case, we find 0.01 fG < B < 30 fG. If one excludes the cosmic-ray component, the 0.01 fG lower limit remains, but the upper limit depends on the spectral properties of the source. We present the allowed ranges for a variety of model parameters.
