Spectral analysis

We fitted the source using pointlike above 300GeV to prevent contamination at low energy.

We obtained the following SED and best fit using Pass 7 : Image Added

SED modeling

Section under construction

Adam constructed a time-dependent one-zone SED model with constant expansion velocity, and assuming a distance of 9 kpc. The modeling only need an IC component.
Image Added
Fig. 11 show the SED modeling constructed by Adam. Blue point are those obtained with HESS data and the green one using ASCA observation. IC components : stellar (dot), IR (medium-dashed) and scattering on
CMB (long-dashed)
Preliminary fit:

Final B = 1.5 ± 1.0 ?G
Electron slope = 2.2 ± 0.1
Electron cutoff = 120 ± 40 TeV
Initial spin period = 13 ± 8 ms
Braking index = 2.5 ± 0.4

Theses parameters predict an age of 25 kyrs (21 kyrs predicted in Hessels et al. 2008 for the pulsar).

Discussion

Assuming a distance of 9kpc we derived the luminosity of the PWN to compute its gamma efficiency. We obtained :

L? (PWN) = 1.69 X 10^35 ergs/s.

Using the pulsar Edot =4.6 X 10^36 we computed an efficiency of 3.7%. To compare to the 3.1% obtained using HESS data.

This efficiency is consistent with what is expected from Ackerman et al. 2011 (the order of magnitude of the percent) as is shown in the following picture : Image Added

Fig. 12 ?-ray Luminosity of the Pulsar Wind Nebulae as a function of the spin-down
luminosity of the associated pulsar. All the pulsar wind nebulae detected by Fermi are
associated with young and energetic pulsars. Pulsar wind nebulae detected by Fermi are
marked with red stars. Blue squares represent pulsars for which GeV ?-ray emission
seems to come from the neutron star magnetosphere, and not from the nebula.

In the paper

I'm now writting the draft of an A&A letter with M.-H. Grondin, M. Lemoine-Goumard, A.Van Etten, B. Stappers, A. Lyne, C. Espinoza.

The first part is an introduction of the source.

The second part summarize the data I used.

The third part is divided in
