Peta-electron volt gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula

The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +269

The Crab pulsar and the surrounding nebula powered by the pulsar's rotational energy through the formation and termination of a relativistic electron-positron wind is a bright sour…

Observations of Forbush Decreases of cosmic ray electrons and positrons with the Dark Matter Particle Explorer

Francesca Alemanno, Qi An, Philipp Azzarello +146

The Forbush Decrease (FD) represents the rapid decrease of the intensities of charged particles accompanied with the coronal mass ejections (CMEs) or high-speed streams from corona…

Constraints on the spatially dependent cosmic-ray propagation model from Bayesian Analysis

Meng-Jie Zhao, Kun Fang, Xiao-Jun Bi

The energy spectra of primary and secondary cosmic rays (CR) generally harden at several hundreds of GeV, which can be naturally interpreted by propagation effects. We adopt a spat…

Potential PeVatron supernova remnant G106.3+2.7 seen in the highest-energy gamma rays

M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +92

Cosmic rays (protons and other atomic nuclei) are believed to gain energies of petaelectronvolts (PeV) and beyond at astrophysical particle accelerators called 'PeVatrons' inside o…

Self-consistent interpretations of the multi-wavelength gamma-ray spectrum of LHAASO J06213755

Kun Fang, Shao-Qiang Xi, Xiao-Jun Bi

LHAASO J06213755 is a TeV gamma-ray halo newly identified by LHAASO-KM2A. It is likely to be generated by electrons trapped in a slow-diffusion zone around PSR J06223749 thro…

Gamma-ray Observation of the Cygnus Region in the 100 TeV Energy Region

M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +110

We report observations of gamma-ray emissions with energies in the 100 TeV energy region from the Cygnus region in our Galaxy. Two sources are significantly detected in the directi…

Slow diffusion is necessary to explain the gamma-ray pulsar halos

Li-Zhuo Bao, Kun Fang, Xiao-Jun Bi +1

It was suggested that the -ray halo around Geminga might not be interpreted by slow-diffusion. If the ballistic regime of electron/positron propagation is considered, the Geming…

Test of the superdiffusion model in the interstellar medium around the Geminga pulsar

Sheng-Hao Wang, Kun Fang, Xiao-Jun Bi +1

The TeV -ray halo around the Geminga pulsar is an important indicator of cosmic-ray (CR) propagation in the local zone of the Galaxy as it reveals the spatial distribution of th…
