摘要

背景。迄今为止,大气切伦科夫成像望远镜(IACTs)已经牢固地探测到三颗脉冲星。其中两颗达到了 TeV 能量范围,对脉冲星的超高能量(VHE)发射模型提出了挑战。为了更好地描述脉冲星在这些能量下的发射特征,需要进行更精确的观测。LST-1 是大型望远镜的原型,将成为切伦科夫望远镜阵列观测站(CTAO)的一部分。与以前的 IACT 相比,LST-1 的性能有所提高,因此非常适合研究脉冲星。 在这项工作中,我们利用 LST-1 研究了蟹状脉冲星的发射情况,改进并补充了其他望远镜的观测结果。蟹状脉冲星的观测结果也可以用来描述 LST-1 在研究其他脉冲星和探测新脉冲星方面的潜力。我们分析了 LST-1 在 2020 年 9 月至 2023 年 1 月期间对蟹状脉冲星进行的共计 ∼103 小时的伽马射线观测。观测是在天顶角小于 50 度的情况下进行的。为了描述蟹状脉冲星在更广能量范围内的发射特征,还对费米/LAT 数据进行了新的分析,其中包括 14 年的观测数据。用 LST-1 重建了蟹状脉冲星的相位图、长期光曲线和相位分辨光谱,第一个峰值从 20 GeV 到 450 GeV,第二个峰值高达 700 GeV。蟹状脉冲星的两个特征发射峰被清晰地探测到(> 10σ),它们之间的所谓桥发射(5.7σ)也被探测到。我们发现这两个峰值都可以用幂律很好地描述,光谱指数分别为 ∼3.44 和 ∼3.03。对费米/LAT 和 LST-1 数据的联合分析表明,在重叠的能量范围内,两台仪器的数据非常一致。利用 LST-1 对蟹状脉冲星进行的首次观测所获得的详细结果表明,CTAO 将具有研究这类星源的潜力。

A detailed study of the very high-energy Crab pulsar emission with the LST-1
Context. To date, three pulsars have been firmly detected by imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs). Two of them reached the TeV energy range, challenging models of very high-energy (VHE) emission in pulsars. More precise observations are needed to better characterize pulsar emission at these energies. The LST-1 is the prototype of the large-sized telescopes, which will be part of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). Its improved performance over previous IACTs makes it well suited for studying pulsars.Aims. In this work we study the Crab pulsar emission with the LST-1, improving upon and complementing the results from other telescopes. Crab pulsar observations can also be used to characterize the potential of the LST-1 to study other pulsars and detect new ones.Methods. We analyzed a total of ∼103 hours of gamma-ray observations of the Crab pulsar conducted with the LST-1 in the period from September 2020 to January 2023. The observations were carried out at zenith angles of less than 50 degrees. To characterize the Crab pulsar emission over a broader energy range, a new analysis of the Fermi/LAT data, including ∼14 years of observations, was also performed.Results. The Crab pulsar phaseogram, long-term light curve, and phase-resolved spectra are reconstructed with the LST-1 from 20 GeV to 450 GeV for the first peak and up to 700 GeV for the second peak The pulsed emission is detected with a significance level of 15.2σ. The two characteristic emission peaks of the Crab pulsar are clearly detected (> 10σ), as is the so-called bridge emission between them (5.7σ). We find that both peaks are described well by power laws, with spectral indices of ∼3.44 and ∼3.03, respectively. The joint analysis of Fermi/LAT and LST-1 data shows a good agreement between the two instruments in their overlapping energy range. The detailed results obtained from the first observations of the Crab pulsar with the LST-1 show the potential that CTAO will have to study this type of source.
