We report the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) detection of the gamma-ray emission towards the young massive star cluster RSGC 1. Using the latest source catalog and diffuse background models, we found that the diffuse gamma-ray emission in this region can be resolved into three different components. The GeV gamma-ray emission from the region HESS J1837-069 has a photon index of 1.83 $\pm$ 0.08. Combining with the HESS and MAGIC data, we argue that the gamma-ray emission in this region likely originate from a pulsar wind nebula (PWN). The gamma-ray emission from the northwest part (region A) can be modelled by an ellipse with the semimajor and semiminor axis of 0.5$^{\circ}$ and 0.25$^{\circ}$, respectively. The GeV emission has a hard spectrum with a photon index of 2.05 $\pm$ 0.02 and is partially coincide with the TeV source MAGIC J1835-069. The possible origin of the gamma-ray emission in this region is the interaction of the cosmic rays (CRs) accelerated by SNR G24.7+0.6 or/and the OB cluster G25.18+0.26 with the surrounding gas clouds. The GeV gamma-ray emission from the southeast region (region B) can be modeled as an ellipse with the semimajor and semiminor axis of 0.9$^{\circ}$ and 0.5$^{\circ}$, respectively, and also reveals a hard gamma-ray spectrum. We argue that the most probable origin is the interaction of the accelerated protons in the young massive star cluster RSGC 1 with ambient gas clouds, and the total cosmic-ray (CR) proton energy is estimated to be as high as $\sim$ 1x10$^{50}$ erg.

Enhancement of the 6.4 keV line in the inner Galactic ridge: Proton-induced fluorescence?
对于银河系弥漫X射线辐射的起源,特别是来自中性和高度电离原子的铁谱线的起源,一个普遍的想法是许多激变变星和日冕活动双星的叠加。在这种情况下,流量应该对称地分布在相对于人马座A $^*$的平面上的东西之间,因为由红外观测确定的恒星质量分布是近似对称的。这种对称性被确认为高度电离的铁线以及连续发射。然而,在银河系中心的近东侧,中性铁谱线比近西侧明显过剩,过剩辐射的通量分布与分子柱密度有很好的相关性。过量发射的X射线谱由幂律连续谱加上6.4 keV的线描述,该线具有$\sim1.3$ keV的大等效宽度,这很难用低能电子轰击方案来解释。过量辐射的经度和纬度分布不利于X射线辐射,无论是人马座A $^*$还是附近的X射线双星。那么低能质子轰击是最可能的起源,尽管需要0.1-1000 MeV的高能量密度$\sim 80$ eV cm $^{-3}$,并且附近没有常规的质子源。
