摘要:

本文分析了中年超新星遗迹W 44及其周围大质量分子气体复合体的9.7年费米-LAT数据,得到了该壳层30年来高质量的γ辐射谱能量分布。低于1 GeV的非常硬的光谱支持了早期关于辐射的强子起源的主张。我们还确认存在两个扩展的$γ$射线结构位于两个相对的边缘沿其主轴的残余。基于高分辨率的气体图,我们证明了伽马射线结构是由宇宙射线密度的增强而不是气体分布的梯度引起的。我们认为,揭示宇宙射线“云”建议从壳层沿磁场的残留物的高能粒子逃逸的各向异性字符。

英文摘要:

We present the analysis of 9.7 years Fermi-LAT data of the middle-aged supernova remnant W44 and the massive molecular gas complex that surrounds it. We derived a high-quality spectral energy distribution of gamma-radiation of the shell over three decades. The very hard spectrum below 1 GeV supports the earlier claims regarding the hadronic origin of radiation. We also confirm the presence of two extended $γ$-ray structures located at two opposite edges of the remnant along its major axis. Based on the high-resolution gas maps, we demonstrate that the gamma-ray structures are caused by the enhanced cosmic-ray density rather than the gradient of the gas distribution. We argue that the revealed cosmic-ray "clouds" suggest an anisotropic character of the escape of high-energy particles from the shell along the magnetic field of the remnant.
