摘要:

未解决的源的弥漫伽马射线背景的贡献可能会导致在小角度尺度上的发射各向异性。我们分析了角功率谱的扩散发射测量的费米LAT在银河系纬度|b| > 30度在四个能量箱跨越1至50 GeV。在多极\ell \ge 155处,对应于角标度\lesssim 2度,在1-2 GeV、2-5 GeV和5-10 GeV能量仓中在> 99.99%CL处以及在10-50 GeV处在> 99%CL处检测到高于光子噪声水平的角功率。在每个能量仓内,所测量的角功率在所有多极\ell \ge 155处取近似相同的值,这表明它源自一个或多个未聚类的源群体的贡献。在所有能量下,归一化到每个能量仓中的平均强度的角功率的幅度与恒定值C_P/<I>^2 = 9.05 +/- 0.84 x 10^{-6} sr一致,而C_P的能量依赖性与由具有幂律光子谱的一个或多个源布居产生的各向异性一致,其中谱指数Γ_s = 2.40 +/- 0.07。我们讨论了所测得的角功率的伽马射线源的人口,可能会提供一个贡献的扩散伽马射线背景的影响。

英文摘要:

The contribution of unresolved sources to the diffuse gamma-ray background could induce anisotropies in this emission on small angular scales. We analyze the angular power spectrum of the diffuse emission measured by the Fermi LAT at Galactic latitudes |b| > 30 deg in four energy bins spanning 1 to 50 GeV. At multipoles \ell \ge 155, corresponding to angular scales \lesssim 2 deg, angular power above the photon noise level is detected at >99.99% CL in the 1-2 GeV, 2-5 GeV, and 5-10 GeV energy bins, and at >99% CL at 10-50 GeV. Within each energy bin the measured angular power takes approximately the same value at all multipoles \ell \ge 155, suggesting that it originates from the contribution of one or more unclustered source populations. The amplitude of the angular power normalized to the mean intensity in each energy bin is consistent with a constant value at all energies, C_P/<I>^2 = 9.05 +/- 0.84 x 10^{-6} sr, while the energy dependence of C_P is consistent with the anisotropy arising from one or more source populations with power-law photon spectra with spectral index Γ_s = 2.40 +/- 0.07. We discuss the implications of the measured angular power for gamma-ray source populations that may provide a contribution to the diffuse gamma-ray background.
