This study explores Dark Particle Accelerators, particularly focusing on the TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1614-518, through X-ray observations using the Suzaku observatory. Despite significant interstellar extinction hindering observations, Suzaku's high-energy sensitivity provides critical insights into these enigmatic sources. Notably, the work reveals the X-ray counterpart of HESS J1614-518 and discusses the underlying mechanisms, proposing that high-energy protons are a likely origin of the observed TeV gamma-rays. This research sheds light on the possible link between these accelerators and cosmic-ray origins.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. X-ray observations of Dark Particle Accelerators HiroMatsumoto (KMI, Nagoya University)

  2. Contents • What is Dark Particle Accelerators? = TeV gamma-ray unID objects • Suzaku X-ray observation • Gamma-ray brightest: HESS J1614-518 • Discussion

  3. TeV gamma-ray view of Milky way 2400 Lyr Galactic Center

  4. What are they? From TeVCat (http://tevcat.uchicago.edu/) • Pulsar , Pulsar Wind Nebula (33) • Supernova Remnant (22) • Others (4) (binaries etc.) • Unidentified (28) TeVunID objects = dark particle accelerators

  5. Many of them are unidentified. • Observe them in other wavelengths. • But, in the Galactic plane region. • interstellar medium  Heavy extinction. Let’s observe in the X-ray band!

  6. X-ray observatory: Suzaku • X-ray telescope (developed by Nagoya Univ.) + X-ray CCD • High sensitivity in the high-energy band (E>2keV) • Little extinction. Ideal for obs. of dark particle accelerators

  7. Gamma-ray brightest dark particle accelerator: HESS J1614-518 TeV gamma-ray image ～100Lyr Squares =Suzaku field of view

  8. Suzaku X-ray image (3-10keV band) X-ray counterpart X-ray object at γ-ray valley No X-ray object

  9. 1st gamma-ray peak TeV gamma-ray image Suzaku X-ray image (3-10keV) Discover X-ray counterpart

  10. X-ray spectrum of the counterpart What can we know?

  11. Power-law emission Flux ∝ E^-Γ Γ=1.7 +/- 0.1 Particle distribution is not Maxwellian.  Non-thermal X-ray emission.

  12. Interstellar extinction Interstellar extinction Column density N_H = (1.2+/-0.4)e22 cm^-2 F ∝ E^-1.7

  13. Distance to HESSJ1614 Column density NH~2.2e22 cm^-2 Milky way galaxy HESSJ1614 NH~1.2e22 cm^-2 D ~ 30,000 Lyr

  14. X-ray Flux Flux(2-10keV) = 5.3e-13 erg/s/cm^2

  15. Very Dim in X-ray Flux(1-10TeV) =1.8e-11 erg/s/cm^2 Flux(2-10keV) =5.3e-13 erg/s/cm^2 F(TeV)/F(X-ray)=34 What does this mean?

  16. Two scenarios of TeV gamma-ray High-E Proton High–E Electron Magnetic field 3K CMB protons TeV γ-ray π0 π0 TeV γ-ray Synchrotron X-ray electrons Interstellar matter

  17. If electron origin… High–E Electron • X-ray … B + e- • TeV … CMB + e- Magnetic field 3K CMB F(TeV)/F(X-ray) = U(CMB)/U(B) < 1 (B> a few μGauss) TeV γ-ray Synchrotron X-ray electrons HESSJ1614 F(TeV)/F(X-ray)=34

  18. Support proton origin of TeV gamma-ray High-E Proton HESSJ1614 F(TeV)/F(X-ray)=34 protons Dark Particle Accelerators are a possible origin of cosmic-rays. π0 π0 TeV γ-ray Interstellar matter

  19. What is HESSJ1614-518? Hint: X-ray object at the gamma-ray valley TeV gamma-ray image Suzaku X-ray image

  20. X-ray Spectrum F∝E^-Γ Γ=3.6+/-0.2 NH=(1.2+/-0.1)e22cm^-2 See Sakai’s poster (#31) for detailed analysis.

  21. Distance to the valley object X-ray counterpart NH~1.2e21cm^-2 Valley object NH~1.2e21cm^-2 Same distance D~30,000 Lyr

  22. Photon index Γ~3.6: very large Candidate: Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP) • Kind of a pulsar (neutron star) • X-ray bright • Slow spin (P=2~12s) • Slow spin down (dP/dt=1e-13~1e-10) • Energy source • Cannot be spin. • May be extremely strong B (>10^15 G) AXPs may be “magneters”.

  23. What is HESSJ1614-518? Maybe a remnant of peculiar supernova producing an AXP. • Similar results • CTB37B (Nakamura et al. 2009) • HESSJ1427-608 (Fujinaga et al. 2011). Some of Dark particle accelerators = Peculiar supernova remnants?

  24. Summary • X-ray counterpart of HESSJ1614-518 was discovered. • F(TeV)/F(X-ray) =34 • Origin of TeV gamma-ray is protons. • May be origin of cosmic-rays. • Some of Dark particle accelerators may be remnants of peculiar supernovae producing AXPs.

  26. What emits TeV gamma-ray? • TeV gamma-ray  E_particle = 10^12 eV • Electron? • Proton?
