High-redshift blazars are valuable tools to study the early Universe. So far only a handful of $γ$-ray blazars have been found at redshifts above 3. $γ$-ray signals are detected in the direction of PMN J2219-2719 ($z=3.63$) and PMN J2321-0827 ($z=3.16$) by analyzing the 10-year $Fermi$-LAT Pass 8 data. PMN J2219-2719 is not distinguished from the background in the global analysis. During the 5-month epoch, the TS value is 47.8 and the flux is more than 10 times of the 10-year averaged flux. In addition, the angular distance between the $γ$-ray position and the radio position of PMN J2219-2719 is only ${0.04}^{\circ}$. Moreover, the $γ$-ray and infrared light curves of long time scale are very similar, which support the association between the $γ$-ray source and PMN J2219-2719. The global analysis of PMN J2321-0827 suggest a new $γ$-ray source, during the flare phase, the TS value is 61.4 and the $γ$-ray flux increased significantly. The association probability suggests that PMN J2321-0827 may be the counterpart of the new $γ$-ray source. In the future, the number of high-redshift $γ$-ray sources will increase by combining $Fermi$-LAT and the upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.

Gamma-ray Astronomy with Muons: Sensitivity of IceCube to PeVatrons in the Southern Sky
北半球TeV伽马射线观测站,如Milagro和Tibet AS $γ$,通过发现以前未被识别的源,可能是PeVatron产生的宇宙射线谱中高达“膝盖”的宇宙射线,证明了全天空仪器的重要性。我们评估冰立方的潜力,以确定类似的源在南部天空中的详细分析方法,以确定通量的μ子从TeV的伽马射线阵雨。我们将这种方法应用于已知的伽马射线源,如超新星遗迹。我们发现,与米拉格罗类似,对于通量强于几个10^{-11}粒子TeV^{-1} cm^{-2} s^{-1}的点状PeVatron,在10年内就有可能探测到。
