Title: Fermi large area telescope detection of extended gamma-ray emission from the radio galaxy fornax A

Abstract

Here, we report the Fermi Large Area Telescope detection of extended γ-ray emission from the lobes of the radio galaxy Fornax A using 6.1 years of Pass 8 data. After Centaurus A, this is now the second example of an extended γ-ray source attributed to a radio galaxy. Both an extended flat disk morphology and a morphology following the extended radio lobes were preferred over a point-source description, and the core contribution was constrained to be $$\lt 14$$% of the total γ-ray flux. We also demonstrated a preferred alignment of the γ-ray elongation with the radio lobes by rotating the radio lobes template. We found no significant evidence for variability on ~0.5 year timescales. Taken together, these results strongly suggest a lobe origin for the γ-rays. Furthermore, with the extended nature of the $$\gt 100\;{\rm{MeV}}$$ γ-ray emission established, we model the source broadband emission considering currently available total lobe radio and millimeter flux measurements, as well as X-ray detections attributed to inverse Compton (IC) emission off the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Unlike the Centaurus A case, we find that a leptonic model involving IC scattering of CMB and extragalactic background light (EBL) photons underpredicts the γ-ray fluxes by factors of about ~2–3, depending on the EBL model adopted. An additional γ-ray spectral component is thus required, and could be due to hadronic emission arising from proton–proton collisions of cosmic rays with thermal plasma within the radio lobes.

Overlaid are the radio contours (gray lines) from the VLA observations of Fomalont et al. (1989) with the radiomore » core (position indicated by A) subtracted. The $γ$-ray residual counts are elongated in a similar way to the radio lobes. Also shown are the 95% confidence error ellipses for 2FGL J0322.4−3717 and 3FGL J0322.5−3721; the 3FGL source has the smaller ellipse. The dashed circle shows the 95% confidence error circle from our maximum-likelihood localization of the region as a single point source centered at position B. The other points (labeled C, D, E) are the locations of various sources and test sources, as detailed in the text and in Table 1.« less
