Jianli Zhang, YiQing Guo

AI总结:

本文利用 galprop 星际辐射场模型,定量计算了 LHAASO 首批 PeVatron 源及银河系微类星体的高能伽马射线吸收效应,发现部分源在 100 TeV 处吸收达 30%、3 PeV 处达 80%,为修正源区真实谱形和区分加速辐射机制提供依据。

摘要:

“PeVatron”指能够将粒子加速到约 10^15 电子伏特及更高能量的天体物理源,并可能对膝区附近的宇宙线能谱作出贡献。近期,LHAASO 发现了大量 PeVatron,使我们能够更深入地研究这些源对膝区以上宇宙线的贡献。然而,高能伽马射线会因与星际辐射场和宇宙微波背景辐射的相互作用而发生衰减,因此需要进行修正以恢复源处的真实谱特征。在本研究中,我们利用从 galprop 代码中提取的星际辐射场模型,定量计算了首个 LHAASO 源表中源的光谱吸收效应,其中部分源在 100 TeV 处吸收可达 30%,在 3 PeV 处可达 80%。我们还计算了银河系微类星体(它们是潜在的 PeVatron)的高能伽马射线吸收效应。通过计算吸收效应,将有助于区分加速源的辐射机制。

英文摘要:

"PeVatrons" refer to astrophysical sources capable of accelerating particles to energies around $10^{15}$ electron volts and higher, potentially contributing to the cosmic ray spectrum in the knee region. Recently, LHAASO has discovered a large number of PeVatrons, allowing us to investigate in greater depth the contributions of these sources to cosmic rays above the knee region. However, high-energy gamma rays undergo attenuation due to interactions with the interstellar radiation field and cosmic microwave background radiation, requiring corrections to restore the true spectral characteristics at the source. In this study, using interstellar radiation field model extracted from galprop code, we quantitatively calculated the spectral absorption effects of sources listed in the first LHAASO source catalog, with some sources showing absorption reaching 30\% at 100 TeV and 80\% at 3 PeV. We also calculated the high energy gamma ray absorption effects of Galactic microquasars, which are potential PeVatrons. By calculating the absorption effects, it will help differentiate the radiation mechanisms of the acceleration sources.
