Gamma-rays and cosmic-rays from a pulsar in Cygnus OB2
arXiv:astro-ph/0307216 · doi:10.1046/j.1365-8711.2003.06997.x
Abstract
We argue that gamma-rays sources observed in the direction of the Cyg OB2 association in the GeV and TeV energy range are due to a pulsar which was created by a supernova a few tens of thousands years ago. The excess of cosmic rays at 10^18 eV can be also related to the appearance of this pulsar.
