OBSERVATION OF TeV GAMMA RAYS FROM THE UNIDENTIFIED SOURCE HESS J1841−055 WITH THE ARGO-YBJ EXPERIMENT

We report the observation of a very high energy γ -ray source whose position is coincident with HESS J1841−055. This source has been observed for 4.5 years by the ARGO-YBJ experiment from 2007 November to 2012 July. Its emission is detected with a statistical significance of 5.3 standard deviations. Parameterizing the source shape with a two-dimensional Gaussian function, we estimate an extension σ = (0.40+0.32 −0.22)◦, which is consistent with the HESS measurement. The observed energy spectrum is dN/dE = (9.0 ± 1.6) × 10−13(E/5 TeV)−2.32±0.23 photons cm−2 s−1 TeV−1, in the energy range 0.9–50 TeV. The integral γ -ray flux above 1 TeV is 1.3 ± 0.4 Crab, which is 3.2 ± 1.0 times the flux derived by HESS. The differences in the flux determination between HESS and ARGO-YBJ and possible counterparts at other wavelengths are discussed
