Measurement of IGMF 3. BL Lac objects as Sources of UHECRs 4. FSRQs as Sources of PeV Neutrinos -ray perspective Fermi 5 year > 1 GeV -ray sky

5 -ray Constraints on EBL Models 1. Deabsorbed VHE ( > ~ 100 GeV) spectrum softer than, e.g., Deabsorbed VHE spectrum bounded by Fermi spectrum extrapolated into VHE range 3. Use Fermi measurements to constrain UV EBL; look for Ly edge in the IGRB (cf. Oh 2001) Finke, Razzaque, Dermer
6 Highest Energy Photons and the Stecker-Scully Relation Highest energy photons compared to E (z; = 1) curves E (z; = 1) ~ 100 GeV/z (red line) GeV TeV spectral index difference Stecker & Scully 2006, 2010; Essey & Kusenko 2012 (cf. Sanchez et al. 2013) Mrk 421 GeV TeV Mrk 421 Update with recent Fermi/IACT data
7 Deabsorbed Blazar Spectra Deabsorbed spectrum shows spectral hardening Finke et al Hard spectrum arises for a wide range of EBL models Values consistent with int > 1.5 (except for Stecker s models) Origin of hard spectral component? 7
8 Measurement of the Intergalactic Magnetic Field Pair halos, echoes, spectral features TeV rays absorbed by EBL make e + e - pairs that Compton scatter CMB photons to GeV energies To satisfy Fermi-LAT data, require B IGMF large enough to deflect pairs away from jet direction For persistent jet, B IGMF > G ~ (Neronov & Vovk 2010; Tavecchio et al. 2011) For jet active during observing period, B IGMF > ~ G (Dermer et al. 2011; Dolag et al. 2011) Cascade GeV rays will be nonvariable; no reason for TeV rays to be nonvariable Dermer et al
