AI总结:

本文综述了PeVatrons与墨西哥HAWC天文台的相关研究,介绍了甚高能伽马射线源发现开启伽马天体物理PeV时代的背景,以及HAWC在该领域的作用与未来潜力。

摘要:

借助高海拔水切伦科夫(High Altitude Water Cherenkov,HAWC)天文台、西藏AS-gamma实验以及大型高海拔空气簇射观测站(Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory,LHAASO)等高灵敏度观测设施,科研人员发现了能量≥100 TeV的甚高能伽马射线源,这标志着伽马射线天体物理正式迈入亚PeV与PeV能量区间(能量约0.1至100 PeV)的新时代。这一新兴天体物理研究方向与PeVatrons(拍电子伏特加速器)这一前沿课题密切相关,HAWC在该领域已发挥突出作用,且凭借已安装的扩展探测器提供的更优质数据,未来将持续产出新发现与相关研究成果。本文对PeVatrons及HAWC天文台进行简要综述。

英文摘要:

The discovery of ultra-high energy gamma-ray sources (detected at energies $\geq$ 100 TeV) thanks to highly sensitive observatories such as the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory, the Tibet AS-gamma Experiment, and the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), marked the beginning of the sub--PeV and PeV era in gamma-ray astrophysics (energies $\sim$ 0.1 to 100 PeV). This new astrophysics is closely related to the emerging topic of PeVatrons, in which HAWC has played a remarkable role and will continue to contribute discoveries and relevant studies thanks to the better data provided by the installed outriggers. In this paper, we present a brief overview of the PeVatrons and the HAWC observatory.
