Likely Detection of GeV γ-Ray Emission from Pulsar Wind Nebula G32.64+0.53 with Fermi-LAT

Abstract

In this study, we report the likely GeV γ -ray emissions originating from the pulsar PSR J1849-0001's pulsar wind nebula (PWN) G32.64+0.53. Our analysis covers approximately 14.7 yr of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope Pass 8. The position of the source and its spectrum matches those in X-ray and TeV energy bands, so we propose that the GeV γ -ray source is indicative of PWN G32.64+0.53. We interpret the broadband spectral energy distribution (SED) using a time-dependent one-zone model, which assumes that the multiband nonthermal emission of the target source can be generated by synchrotron radiation and inverse Compton scattering (ICS) of the electrons/positrons. Our findings demonstrate that the model substantially elucidates the observed SED. These results lend support to the hypothesis that the γ -ray source originates from the PWN G32.64+0.53 powered by PSR J1849-0001. Furthermore, the γ -rays in TeV bands are likely generated by electrons/positrons within the nebula through ICS.
