摘要
上下文。复发新星蛇夫座RS(蛇夫座RS)在2021年8月经历了一次热核爆发。在这次事件中,RS Oph被高能立体系统(H.E.S.S.)、主要大气伽玛成像切伦科夫(MAGIC)和未来切伦科夫望远镜阵列天文台(CTAO)的第一台大型望远镜(LST-1)探测到,伽玛射线能量超过100 GeV。这意味着新星是一类新的高能(VHE)伽马射线发射器。我们报告了利用LST-1对RS Oph观测结果的分析。我们限制了在强子和轻子情况下引起观测到的发射的粒子群。此外,我们还研究了利用LST-1和即将到来的ctao - north LST阵列探测新星的前景。从新星事件发生的第一天起,我们就利用LST-1进行了目标观测。数据在cta-lstchain和Gammapy(官方CTAO-LST重建和分析软件包)框架下进行分析。利用Fermi-LAT和LST-1的光谱信息,结合MAGIC和H.E.S.S.望远镜的公开数据,考虑了单区强子和轻子模型来模拟RS Oph的伽马射线发射。在喷发后的前6.35 h,用LST-1探测到RS Oph的强度为6.6σ。强子情景优于轻子情景,考虑到质子能谱具有指数截断的幂律模型,其位置从喷发后第1天的(0.26±0.08)TeV增加到第4天的(1.6±0.6)TeV。LST-1/LST阵列的高灵敏度和低能量阈值将使我们能够探测到微弱的新星,并提高它们的发现率。
Detection of RS Oph with LST-1 and modelling of its HE/VHE gamma-ray emission
Context. The recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi (RS Oph) underwent a thermonuclear eruption in August 2021. In this event, RS Oph was detected by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC), and the first Large-Sized Telescope (LST-1) of the future Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) at very-high gamma-ray energies above 100 GeV. This means that novae are a new class of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitters.Aims. We report the analysis of the RS Oph observations with LST-1. We constrain the particle population that causes the observed emission in hadronic and leptonic scenarios. Additionally, we study the prospects of detecting further novae using LST-1 and the upcoming LST array of CTAO-North.Methods. We conducted target-of-opportunity observations with LST-1 from the first day of this nova event. The data were analysed in the framework of cta-lstchain and Gammapy, the official CTAO-LST reconstruction and analysis packages. One-zone hadronic and leptonic models were considered to model the gamma-ray emission of RS Oph using the spectral information from Fermi-LAT and LST-1, together with public data from the MAGIC and H.E.S.S. telescopes.Results. RS Oph was detected at 6.6σ with LST-1 in the first 6.35 hours of observations following the eruption. The hadronic scenario is preferred over the leptonic scenario considering a proton energy spectrum with a power-law model with an exponential cutoff whose position increases from (0.26 ± 0.08) TeV on day 1 up to (1.6 ± 0.6) TeV on day 4 after the eruption. The deep sensitivity and low energy threshold of the LST-1/LST array will allow us to detect faint novae and increase their discovery rate.
