摘要:

我们目前的观测BL Lac对象1 ES 0414+009在>200 GeV的伽玛射线波段的VERITAS阵列切伦科夫望远镜。1 ES 0414+009在2008年1月至2011年2月期间由VERITAS观测,产生了56.2小时的高质量定点观测。这些观察结果导致从源检测到822个事件,对应于高于背景的6.4标准差(6.4 sigma)的统计显著性。在200 GeV以上,源通量的测量值为5.2 +/- 1.1_stat +/- 2.6_sys * 10^-12光子cm^-2 s^-1,约等于蟹状星云在此能量以上通量的2%。从230 GeV到850 GeV的微分光子谱符合幂律,在300 GeV时,光子指数为Gamma 3.4 +/- 0.5_stat +/- 0.3_sys,通量归一化为1.6 +/- 0.3_stat +/- 0.8_sys * 10^-11光子cm^-2 s^-1。我们还提出了在光学(MDM),X射线(Swift-XRT)和GeV(费米-LAT)波段的多波长结果,并使用这些结果来构建一个宽带光谱能量分布(SED)。这个SED的建模表明,均匀的一区轻子的情况下是不足以描述从系统的排放,与一个lepto-hadronic模型提供了更好的拟合数据。

英文摘要:

We present observations of the BL Lac object 1ES 0414+009 in the >200 GeV gamma-ray band by the VERITAS array of Cherenkov telescopes. 1ES 0414+009 was observed by VERITAS between January 2008 and February 2011, resulting in 56.2 hours of good quality pointed observations. These observations resulted in a detection of 822 events from the source corresponding to a statistical significance of 6.4 standard deviations (6.4 sigma) above the background. The source flux, showing no evidence for variability, is measured as 5.2 +/- 1.1_stat +/- 2.6_sys * 10^-12 photons cm^-2 s^-1 above 200 GeV, equivalent to approximately 2% of the Crab Nebula flux above this energy. The differential photon spectrum from 230 GeV to 850 GeV is well fit by a power law with an photon index of Gamma 3.4 +/- 0.5_stat +/- 0.3_sys and a flux normalization of 1.6 +/- 0.3_stat +/- 0.8_sys * 10^-11 photons cm^-2 s^-1 at 300 GeV. We also present multiwavelength results taken in the optical (MDM), X-ray (Swift-XRT), and GeV (Fermi-LAT) bands and use these results to construct a broadband spectral energy distribution (SED). Modeling of this SED indicates that homogenous one-zone leptonic scenarios are not adequate to describe emission from the system, with a lepto-hadronic model providing a better fit to the data.
