论文摘要

我们研究了在TEV和GEV能量上观察到的扩展源Hess J1841-055的伽马射线发射的物理性质和起源。我们在TEV Energies上观察到HESS J1841-055在2012年和2013年的魔术望远镜的总生效时间为43小时。此外，我们分析了GEV对应物，利用大约10年的费米LAT数据。使用费米 - 拉特和魔术，我们在近四十年的能量中研究了来源的光谱和能量依赖性形态。使用有关该地区存在的来源的多波带信息研究了该区域的伽马射线发射的起源，该信息被认为与该不明的伽马射线源有关。我们发现，GEV-TEV能量处的扩展发射可以通过多个源模型来描述。我们还对GEV-TEV的HESS J1841-055区域进行了第一个能量依赖性分析。我们发现，较低能量处的发射来自弥漫性或扩展成分，而伽马射线以上1 tev的主要贡献是从源的南部产生的。此外，我们发现在观测到的魔术和费米 - 拉特频谱中存在明显的曲率。该身份不明的来源的第一个多波长光谱能量分布表明，GEV-TEV能量在Leptonic和Hadronic模型中都可以很好地解释GEV-TEV能量的发射。对于Leptonic方案，与Compton逆向相比，Bremsstrahlung是主要的发射。另一方面，对于辐射模型，由中性亲腐烂（$π^0 $）引起的伽马射线可以解释观察到的光谱。与HESS J1841-055重叠的密集分子云的存在使Bremsstrahlung和$π^0 $ -DECAY处理源的主要发射机制。

We investigate the physical nature and origin of the gamma-ray emission from the extended source HESS J1841-055 observed at TeV and GeV energies. We observed HESS J1841-055 at TeV energies for a total effective time of 43 hours with the MAGIC telescopes, in 2012 and 2013. Additionally, we analysed the GeV counterpart making use of about 10 years of Fermi-LAT data. Using both Fermi-LAT and MAGIC, we study both the spectral and energy-dependent morphology of the source for almost four decades of energy. The origin of the gamma-ray emission from this region is investigated using multi-waveband information on sources present in this region, suggested to be associated with this unidentified gamma-ray source. We find that the extended emission at GeV-TeV energies is best described by more than one source model. We also perform the first energy-dependent analysis of the HESS J1841-055 region at GeV-TeV. We find that the emission at lower energies comes from a diffuse or extended component, while the major contribution of gamma rays above 1 TeV arises from the southern part of the source. Moreover, we find that a significant curvature is present in the combined observed spectrum of MAGIC and Fermi-LAT. The first multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution of this unidentified source shows that the emission at GeV-TeV energies can be well explained with both leptonic and hadronic models. For the leptonic scenario, bremsstrahlung is the dominant emission compared to inverse Compton. On the other hand, for the hadronic model, gamma-ray resulting from the decay of neutral pions ($π^0$) can explain the observed spectrum. The presence of dense molecular clouds overlapping with HESS J1841-055 makes both bremsstrahlung and $π^0$-decay processes the dominant emission mechanisms for the source.
