摘要:

费米LAT在银道面上方和下方发现了两个扩展的伽马射线泡。我们认为,它们的起源是由于在银河系中心(GC)的准周期恒星吸积到中央黑洞的能量释放。由这些过程产生的冲击传播到星系晕并加速那里的粒子。我们表明,加速到~10 TeV的电子可能是负责所观察到的伽马射线发射的气泡作为一个结果的逆康普顿(IC)散射的遗物光子。我们还认为,由于气泡中的激波比SNRs中的激波具有更大的长度尺度和更长的寿命,因此气泡可以产生能量> 10^15 eV的CR质子流。这可以解释膝关节以上的CR谱。

英文摘要:

Fermi LAT has discovered two extended gamma-ray bubbles above and below the galactic plane. We propose that their origin is due to the energy release in the Galactic center (GC) as a result of quasi-periodic star accretion onto the central black hole. Shocks generated by these processes propagate into the Galactic halo and accelerate particles there. We show that electrons accelerated up to ~10 TeV may be responsible for the observed gamma-ray emission of the bubbles as a result of inverse Compton (IC) scattering on the relic photons. We also suggest that the Bubble could generate the flux of CR protons at energies > 10^15 eV because the shocks in the Bubble have much larger length scales and longer lifetimes in comparison with those in SNRs. This may explain the the CR spectrum above the knee.
