摘要:

由AGILE和费米天文台发现的蟹状星云的巨大伽马射线耀斑令人惊讶,并对现有的脉冲星风星云模型提出了挑战。我们对10.5年的Fermi-LAT观测(2008年8月至2019年2月)进行了分析,并研究了蟹状星云在100-300 MeV范围内的变化。除了耀斑,我们还发现了几个月之久的伽马射线通量的凹陷,并确定了几个急剧的通量下降的情况下,在一个星期内的通量下降了一个数量级相对于其平均值。在$E>$ 10 GeV的范围内,没有发现统计上显着的变化的星云流量的数据。我们讨论了观测到的伽玛射线通量凹陷的蟹状星云的同步辐射模型的可能影响。

英文摘要:

The giant gamma-ray flares of the Crab nebula discovered by AGILE and Fermi observatories came as a surprise and have challenged the existing models of pulsar wind nebulae. We have carried out an analysis of 10.5 years of Fermi-LAT observations (Aug 2008 -- Feb 2019) and investigated variability of the Crab nebula in the 100-300 MeV range. Besides the flares, we found several month long depressions of the gamma-ray flux and identified several cases of sharp flux drops, where during one week the flux decreased by an order of magnitude with respect to its average value. No statistically significant variations of the nebula flux in the $E>$10 GeV range were found in the data. We discuss possible implications of the observed gamma-ray flux depressions on the model of synchrotron emission of the Crab nebula.
