摘要:

空间变化的平均属性,特点的强子组成部分的弥漫银河宇宙射线海,特别是光谱斜率和归一化,可能会揭示其在银河系中的约束机制的关键信息。在本文的第一部分中,我们执行的Fermi-LAT γ射线数据分析与SkyFACT软件包,它结合了图像重建技术与标准模板拟合,分离出的强子发射,并将其分解成银河中心环。我们发现一个显着的硬化的强子谱指数对分子环。我们在不同的能量范围内研究这种硬化,并评估其弹性与分析设置中的不同处方。在第二部分中,我们量化的贡献扩散伽马射线通量来自未解决的点源与一个专用的蒙特卡罗模拟,并考虑是否在第一部分的趋势特征可以模仿一个渐进的更相关的通量相关的这个组件在银河系内部。我们发现,所观察到的硬化的强子谱指数不能是由于未解决的来源在亚TeV的能量范围内,特别是在分子环外,给出合理的假设有关的未解决的源人口。

英文摘要:

Spatial variations of the average properties that characterize the hadronic component of the diffuse Galactic cosmic-ray sea, in particular the spectral slope and normalization, may unveil critical information about their confinement mechanism in the Galaxy. In the first part of this paper we perform an analysis of the Fermi-LAT gamma-ray data with the SkyFACT package, which combines image reconstruction techniques with standard template fitting, isolate the hadronic emission and decompose it into Galactocentric rings. We find a significant hardening of the hadronic spectral index towards the molecular ring. We study this hardening in different energy ranges, and assess its resilience with respect to different prescriptions in the analysis setup. In the second part we quantify the contribution to the diffuse gamma-ray flux coming from unresolved point sources with a dedicated Monte Carlo simulation, and consider whether the trend characterized in the first part can be mimicked by a progressively more relevant flux associated to this component in the inner Galaxy. We find that the observed hardening of the hadronic spectral index cannot be due to unresolved sources in the sub-TeV energy range, especially outside the molecular ring, given reasonable assumptions about the unresolved source population.
