Probing the Cosmic X-Ray and MeV Gamma-Ray Background Radiation through the Anisotropy

Journal Article Inoue, Yoshiyuki ; Murase, Kohta ; Madejski, Grzegorz M. ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

While the cosmic soft X-ray background is very likely to originate from individual Seyfert galaxies, the origin of the cosmic hard X-ray and MeV gamma-ray background is not fully understood. It is expected that Seyferts including Compton thick population may explain the cosmic hard X-ray background. At MeV energy range, Seyferts having non-thermal electrons in coronae above accretion disks or MeV blazars may explain the background radiation. We propose that future measurements of the angular power spectra of anisotropy of the cosmic X-ray and MeV gamma-ray backgrounds will be key to deciphering these backgrounds and the evolution of active galacticmore »« less

Searches for cosmic-ray electron anisotropies with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

Journal Article Ackermann, M. - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

The Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi satellite (Fermi LAT) detected more than 1.6 × 10⁶ cosmic-ray electrons/positrons with energies above 60 GeV during its first year of operation. The arrival directions of these events were searched for anisotropies of angular scale extending from ~ 10 ° up to 90°, and of minimum energy extending from 60 GeV up to 480 GeV. Two independent techniques were used to search for anisotropies, both resulting in null results. Upper limits on the degree of the anisotropy were set that depended on the analyzed energy range and on the anisotropy’s angular scale.more »« less

Search for Cosmic-Ray Electron and Positron Anisotropies with Seven Years of Fermi Large Area Telescope Data

Journal Article Abdollahi, S. ; Ackermann, M. ; Ajello, M. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We present the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope that has collected the largest ever sample of high-energy cosmic-ray electron and positron events since the beginning of its operation. Potential anisotropies in the arrival directions of cosmic-ray electrons or positrons could be a signature of the presence of nearby sources. We use almost seven years of data with energies above 42 GeV processed with the Pass 8 reconstruction. The present data sample can probe dipole anisotropies down to a level of 10^-3. We take into account systematic effects that could mimic true anisotropies at this level.more »« less
