论文摘要
我们在HAWC J2227+610与HAWC天文台的100 teV上介绍了VHE伽马射线发射的检测。将我们的观察结果与Veritas先前发表的结果相结合,我们将HAWC J2227+610的伽马射线发射解释为质子的发射,其截止能量的下限为800 TEV。质子最有可能的来源是相关的超新星残留G106.3+2.7,使其成为银河系pevatron的良好候选者。但是,目前不能排除观察到的发射的纯纯净起源。
We present the detection of VHE gamma-ray emission above 100 TeV from HAWC J2227+610 with the HAWC observatory. Combining our observations with previously published results by VERITAS, we interpret the gamma-ray emission from HAWC J2227+610 as emission from protons with a lower limit in their cutoff energy of 800 TeV. The most likely source of the protons is the associated supernova remnant G106.3+2.7, making it a good candidate for a Galactic PeVatron. However, a purely leptonic origin of the observed emission cannot be excluded at this time.
