河外gamma-ray背景的一个新模型

A new model for the extragalactic gamma-ray background

Massimo Cavadini, Ruben Salvaterra, Francesco Haardt

摘要:

我们提出了一个双参数模型的河外伽玛射线背景(EGB)在0.1-100 GeV的范围内所测量的费米卫星上的大面积望远镜(LAT)。EGB可以完全解释为三种不同成分的总和,即耀变体,非光束AGN(塞弗特星系和类星体),以及来自恒星形成星系的宇宙射线。假设γ射线光度函数与FRI和FRII星系的射电光度函数成正比,通过拟合Fermi-LAT耀变体的微分计数,得到了光束源对背景的贡献。来自非波束活动星系核的高能量发射,而是由所观察到的X射线背景的流行的合成模型确定的。最后,通过加入由宇宙射线中的π衰变产生的第三个分量来拟合EGB,假设该分量与宇宙恒星形成历史密切相关。我们发现耀变体在能量为\geq 10 GeV时占主导地位,对于能量为\leq 0.2 GeV的耀变体,主要贡献来自非束流活动星系核,而在两者之间需要宇宙射线。由于伽马射线与河外背景光相互作用引起的吸收,我们的模型在LAT探测到的最高能量(\geq 70 GeV)处不足,从而为暗物质粒子湮灭的可能贡献留下了空间。例如,一个质量约为0.5 TeV、截面<σv>约为5*10^{-26} cm ^3 s^-1的粒子就可以容纳这些数据。

英文摘要:

We present a two-parameter model of the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB) in the 0.1-100 GeV range as measured by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi satellite. The EGB can be fully explained as the sum of three distinct components, namely blazars, non-beamed AGNs (Seyfert galaxies and QSOs), and cosmic rays from star-forming galaxies. The contribution to the background from beamed sources is obtained by fitting the Fermi-LAT blazar differential number counts assuming that the gamma-ray luminosity function is directly proportional to the radio luminosity function of FRI and FRII galaxies. The high energy emission from non-beamed AGNs is instead determined by popular synthesis models of the observed X-ray background. Finally, the EGB is fit by adding a third component arising from pion decay in cosmic rays, assuming that such component is closely linked to the cosmic star formation history. We find that blazars dominate at energies \geq 10 GeV, for E \leq 0.2 GeV the main contribution is from non-beamed AGNs, while cosmic rays are required in between. Because of absorption due to interaction of gamma-rays with the extra-galactic background light, our model falls short at the highest energies probed by LAT, (\geq 70 GeV), leaving room to a possible contribution from dark matter particle annihilation. As an example, a particle of mass ~ 0.5 TeV and cross section <σv>~ 5*10^{-26} cm^3 s^-1 can accomodate the data.
