蟹状星云最宽光谱带的模拟和离子加速效率的约束

Modeling the broadest spectral band of the Crab nebula and constraining the ions acceleration efficiency

摘要:

虽然人们普遍认为脉冲星风星云(PWNe)的射电到极高能$γ$射线的电磁波谱都来自轻子,但脉冲星风中是否存在质子(或更一般的离子)并在PWN中进一步加速,这一点仍有待商榷。最近通过探测西藏AS $γ$和HAWC实验扩展的原型PWN螃蟹的宽带光谱超过100 TeV,可能有助于限制离子的加速效率。在这里,我们模拟最宽的能量谱的螃蟹,发现宽带光谱可以解释的一个区域轻子模型,其中的电子/正电子产生的辐射从无线电软$γ$ -射线通过同步过程,同时产生的GeV-TeV $γ$ -射线通过逆康普顿散射,包括同步自康普顿过程。在这个轻子模型的框架中,转换成高能质子的能量的分数被限制在$0.5\ (n_{\rm t}/10\ {\rm cm}^{-3})^{-1}$ %以下,其中$n_{\rm t}$是蟹状星云中的目标气体密度。然而,如果仅使用$γ$射线,则该分数可以高达$7\ (n_{\rm t}/10\ {\rm cm}^{-3})^{-1}$ %。

英文摘要:

Although it is widely accepted that the electromagnetic spectrum from radio to very-high-energy $γ$-rays of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) originates from leptons, there is still an open question that protons (or more generally, ions) may exist in pulsar wind and are further accelerated in PWN. The broadband spectrum of the prototype PWN Crab, extended recently by the detection of the Tibet AS$γ$ and HAWC experiments above 100 TeV, may be helpful in constraining the acceleration efficiency of ions. Here, we model the broadest energy spectrum of Crab and find that the broadband spectrum can be explained by the one-zone leptonic model in which the electrons/positrons produce the emission from radio to soft $γ$-rays via the synchrotron process, and simultaneously generate the GeV-TeV $γ$-rays through inverse Compton scattering including the synchrotron self-Compton process. In the framework of this leptonic model, the fraction of energy converted into the energetic protons is constrained to be below $0.5\ (n_{\rm t}/10\ {\rm cm}^{-3})^{-1}$ per cent, where $n_{\rm t}$ is the target gas density in the Crab. However, this fraction can be up to $7\ (n_{\rm t}/10\ {\rm cm}^{-3})^{-1}$ per cent if only the $γ$-rays are used.
