摘要:

我们报告的脉冲伽马射线从蟹状星云脉冲星在能量超过100千兆电子伏(GeV)的大气切伦科夫望远镜VERITAS阵列的检测。目前的脉冲星模型无法解释这种探测。在100兆电子伏(MeV)和400 GeV之间的脉冲发射的光子谱由破幂律描述,该破幂律在统计上优于具有指数截止的幂律。这是不太可能的观察可以解释调用曲率辐射的起源,所观察到的伽马射线超过100 GeV。我们的发现要求这些伽马射线产生于距离中子星10个恒星半径以上的地方。

英文摘要:

We report the detection of pulsed gamma rays from the Crab pulsar at energies above 100 Gigaelectronvolts (GeV) with the VERITAS array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The detection cannot be explained on the basis of current pulsar models. The photon spectrum of pulsed emission between 100 Megaelectronvolts (MeV) and 400 GeV is described by a broken power law that is statistically preferred over a power law with an exponential cutoff. It is unlikely that the observation can be explained by invoking curvature radiation as the origin of the observed gamma rays above 100 GeV. Our findings require that these gamma rays be produced more than 10 stellar radii from the neutron star.
