摘 要
对银道面附近(|b|≤5°)未证认的伽玛射线源和年龄小于106年的银河系年轻脉冲星之间的成协的可能性进行了统计研究。结果表明,年轻脉冲星可能说明大多数未证认EGRET源,它们和超新星遗迹以及OB星协在位置上成协。 其表现为:有2/3是年轻射电宁静脉冲星,1/3是年轻射电脉冲星。对这些未证认g

Abstract
We present a statistical study on possible association between the
unidentified g-ray
point sources at the Galactic plane (|b|≤5°)
and the Galactic young pulsars with ages of less than 106
yr. Our results suggest that young pulsars may account for the
majority of unidentified EGRET sources that are positionally
associated with supernova remanants and OB star associations, in such
a way that two thirds are young radio quiet pulsars and one third are
young radio pulsars. We have studied the variability of these
unidentified g-ray
sources and found that most of them may be non-variable. Furthermore,
we expect that GLAST may detect »80
N100 radio pulsars and »1100
N100 unidentified g-ray
point sources in the Galactic plane with |b|≤5°,
where N100 is the birth rate of neutron stars in units of 100 years. |
