摘要:

HESS J1857+026是由H.E.S.S.作为银河平面巡天的一部分考虑到它的宽带光谱能量分布和它与年轻的高能脉冲星PSR J1856+0245的空间重合,该源被认为是脉冲星风星云(PWN)的候选者。MAGIC进行了后续观测,旨在将源映射到接近100 GeV的能量,以便更好地了解其复杂的形态。MAGIC在2010年对HESS J1857+026进行了观测,获得了29小时的高质量立体数据,使我们能够在两个不同的能量范围内绘制源区。我们探测到HESS J1857+026的极高能伽马射线发射,其显著性为$12 σ$,高于$150$ GeV。$100$ GeV和$13$ TeV之间的微分能谱可以通过具有$N_0 = (5.37 \pm0.44_{stat} \pm1.5_{sys}) \times 10^{-12} (\textrm{TeV}^{-1} \textrm{cm}^{-2}$ $\textrm{ s}^{-1})$和$Γ= 2.16\pm0.07_{stat} \pm0.15_{sys}$的幂律函数$dN/dE = N_0(E/1\textrm{TeV})^{-Γ}$很好地描述,它弥补了Fermi-LAT测量的GeV发射和HESS测量的多TeV发射之间的差距。此外,我们提出了一个详细的分析,该区域的能量依赖的形态。我们把这些结果与档案多波长数据和大纲证据,有利于一个两源的情况下,其中一个源与PWN,而另一个可能与分子云复杂的HII区域和可能的气体腔。

英文摘要:

HESS J1857+026 is an extended TeV gamma-ray source that was discovered by H.E.S.S. as part of its Galactic plane survey. Given its broadband spectral energy distribution and its spatial coincidence with the young energetic pulsar PSR J1856+0245, the source has been put forward as a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) candidate. MAGIC has performed follow-up observations aimed at mapping the source down to energies approaching 100 GeV in order to better understand its complex morphology. HESS J1857+026 was observed by MAGIC in 2010, yielding 29 hours of good quality stereoscopic data that allowed us to map the source region in two separate ranges of energy. We detected very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from HESS J1857+026 with a significance of $12 σ$ above $150$ GeV. The differential energy spectrum between $100$ GeV and $13$ TeV is well described by a power law function $dN/dE = N_0(E/1\textrm{TeV})^{-Γ}$ with $N_0 = (5.37 \pm0.44_{stat} \pm1.5_{sys}) \times 10^{-12} (\textrm{TeV}^{-1} \textrm{cm}^{-2}$ $\textrm{ s}^{-1})$ and $Γ= 2.16\pm0.07_{stat} \pm0.15_{sys}$, which bridges the gap between the GeV emission measured by Fermi-LAT and the multi-TeV emission measured by H.E.S.S.. In addition, we present a detailed analysis of the energy-dependent morphology of this region. We couple these results with archival multi-wavelength data and outline evidence in favor of a two-source scenario, whereby one source is associated with a PWN, while the other could be linked with a molecular cloud complex containing an HII region and a possible gas cavity.
