Time delay of cascade radiation for TeV blazars and the measurement of the intergalactic magnetic field

Journal Article Dermer, Charles D. ; Cavadini, Massimo ; Razzaque, Soebur ; ... - The Astrophysical Journal. Letters

Here, recent claims that the strength B_IGMF of the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) is ≳10^–15 G are based on upper limits to the expected cascade flux in the GeV band produced by blazar TeV photons absorbed by the extragalactic background light. This limit depends on an assumption that the mean blazar TeV flux remains constant on timescales ≳2(B _IGMF/10^–18G)²/(E/10 GeV)² yr for an IGMF coherence length ≈1 Mpc, where E is the measured photon energy. Restricting TeV activity of 1ES 0229+200 to ≈3-4 years during which the source has been observed leads to a more robust lower limit of Bmore »« less

TIME DELAY OF CASCADE RADIATION FOR TeV BLAZARS AND THE MEASUREMENT OF THE INTERGALACTIC MAGNETIC FIELD

Journal Article Dermer, Charles D ; Razzaque, Soebur ; Finke, Justin D ; ... - Astrophysical Journal Letters

Recent claims that the strength B{sub IGMF} of the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) is {approx}> 10{sup -15} G are based on upper limits to the expected cascade flux in the GeV band produced by blazar TeV photons absorbed by the extragalactic background light. This limit depends on an assumption that the mean blazar TeV flux remains constant on timescales {approx}> 2(B{sub IGMF}/10{sup -18}G){sup 2}/(E/10 GeV){sup 2} yr for an IGMF coherence length {approx}1 Mpc, where E is the measured photon energy.

THE COSMOLOGICAL IMPACT OF LUMINOUS TeV BLAZARS. I. IMPLICATIONS OF PLASMA INSTABILITIES FOR THE INTERGALACTIC MAGNETIC FIELD AND EXTRAGALACTIC GAMMA-RAY BACKGROUND

Journal Article Broderick, Avery E ; Chang, Philip ; Pfrommer, Christoph - Astrophysical Journal

Inverse Compton cascades (ICCs) initiated by energetic gamma rays (E {approx}> 100 GeV) enhance the GeV emission from bright, extragalactic TeV sources. The absence of this emission from bright TeV blazars has been used to constrain the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF), and the stringent limits placed on the unresolved extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGRB) by Fermi have been used to argue against a large number of such objects at high redshifts. However, these are predicated on the assumption that inverse Compton scattering is the primary energy-loss mechanism for the ultrarelativistic pairs produced by the annihilation of the energetic gamma rays onmore »« less

Search for Magnetically Broadened Cascade Emission from Blazars with VERITAS

Journal Article Archambault, S. ; Griffin, S. ; Archer, A. ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We present a search for magnetically broadened gamma-ray emission around active galactic nuclei (AGNs), using VERITAS observations of seven hard-spectrum blazars. A cascade process occurs when multi-TeV gamma-rays from an AGN interact with extragalactic background light (EBL) photons to produce electron–positron pairs, which then interact with cosmic microwave background photons via inverse-Compton scattering to produce gamma-rays. Due to the deflection of the electron–positron pairs, a non-zero intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) would potentially produce detectable effects on the angular distribution of the cascade emission. In particular, an angular broadening compared to the unscattered emission could occur. Through non-detection of angularly broadenedmore »« less
