Calore, Di Mauro, Donato (2014) Francesca Calore - University of Amsterdam 15
29 Pulsars interpretation of the GeV excess 1. Spectral argument Power-law with exponential cutoff is consistent with observed pulsar gamma ray properties. 2. Luminosity (flux) argument t t The emission from unresolved pulsars can account for at most 10% of the excess emission in both the Galactic Center and Inner Galaxy regions. 3. Morphology argument The source distribution is well compatible with a disklike population. Nevertheless, it is possible to have a bulge component. It is anyhow unlikely that it extends up to 10 degrees in latitude.? e.g Cholis, Hooper, Linden [arxiv: ] Francesca Calore - University of Amsterdam 16
30 Conclusions Up-to-date and systematic analysis of MSPs population properties from radio (ATNF catalog) to gamma rays (Fermi-LAT). MSPs are a marginal component of the IGRB: 0.02% % within an uncertainty of O(10). MSPs are also a negligible contributor to the gamma-ray anisotropy signal measured by the Fermi-LAT, thus indicating that this should be dominated by other sources. At low latitudes, the contribution from both young pulsars and MSPs can explain up to about 10% of the excess emission measured in the inner part of the Galaxy. The MSPs interpretation of the Fermi-LAT GeV excess is nowadays in tension with spectral and morphological properties of the MSPs population as we model it from radio and gamma-ray observations.
