Project Title: Brief introduction and scope of the project

Using 3 years of Fermi-LAT data we have analyzed the region of HESS J1857, a PWN detected at TeV energy by HESS, MAGIC and Veritas.

The corresponding pulsar PSR J1856+0245, found in Arecibo PALFA survey, remains undetected in Fermi-data. 

An excess of emission was observed (TS~38) in Fermi data consistent with a point source at the position of HESS J1857+026. Its spectrum is well fitted by a hard power law (gamma~1.5) and the SED obtained using Fermi data is consistent with those of HESS and MAGIC.

We are aiming for a A&A letter with a first draft before the end of the week.

    Spatial and Spectral Analysis

    The whole analysis is summarized here https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=100515585.

    HESS data has shown an emission located at RA=284.3°, DEC=2.68°. It remained unidentified untill the detection of PSR J1856+026 in Arecibo PALFA survey (Hessels et al 2008).

    Here we tested the source for extension using pointlike then gtlike and found no significant extension.

    Fig. 1 Residual TS map obtained between 10GeV and 300GeV. Here HESS J1857 is not included in the model.

    The green contours are those obtained using HESS data (Aharonian et al.,2008).

    The SED shown a hard spectrum consistent with those of HESS and MAGIC. The best fit between 300MeV and 300GeV yields to the following parameters :

    Int Flux(100MeV-100GeV) =  (5.79 ± 0:75 ± 3.11) X 10^{-9} MeV/cm^2/s

    Gamma = 1.52 ± 0.16 ± 0.55

    With a TS of 38.7.

    Systematic Errors Analysis

    The systematics were estimated using the bracketting IRFS, fitting the source galactic background level at +/- 6% of the value of the best fit and the systematics on the shape of the source were computed using a template consistent with the extension derived using HESS data.

    Broad-Band modelling

    Other Analysis

    HESS 1857 is powered by a young and energetic pulsar, with a gamma-ray efficiency of 3.7% consistent with those observed using HESS data (3.1%) and consistent with the other values observed for the PWNe detected by Fermi.

    An upper limit on the DC emission pulsar yield to a luminosity < 8.27 X 10^
