摘要:

我们报告费米大天区望远镜(Fermi-LAT)探测到的年轻大质量星团RSGC 1的伽马射线辐射。使用最新的源目录和漫射背景模型,我们发现该区域的漫射伽马射线发射可以分解为三个不同的分量。来自HESS J1837-069区域的GeV伽马射线发射具有1.83 $\pm$ 0.08的光子指数。结合HESS和MAGIC的观测数据,我们认为该区域的γ射线辐射可能来自脉冲星风星云(PWN)。来自西北部(A区)的伽马射线发射可以用半长轴和半短轴分别为0.5 $^{\circ}$和0.25 $^{\circ}$的椭圆来模拟。GeV发射具有光子指数为2.05 $\pm$ 0.02的硬光谱,并且与TeV源MAGIC J1835-069部分一致。该区域γ射线辐射的可能来源是被SNR G24.7+0.6或/和OB星团G25.18+0.26加速的宇宙射线(CR)与周围气体云的相互作用。从东南区域(区域B)的GeV伽马射线发射可以被建模为半长轴和半短轴分别为0.9 $^{\circ}$和0.5 $^{\circ}$的椭圆,并且还揭示了硬伽马射线谱。我们认为,最可能的起源是在年轻的大质量星团RSGC 1的加速质子与周围的气体云的相互作用,和宇宙射线(CR)质子的总能量估计高达$\sim$ 1 × 10 $^{50}$尔格。

英文摘要:

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.
