2CG013 - A monoenergetic source of cosmic rays?
Abstract
Results from a Monte Carlo simulation of gamma-ray production under astrophysical conditions indicate that it is possible to produce gamma-ray spectra as hard as that of 2CG013+00 reported by COS-B using a monoenergetic beam of cosmic rays hitting a thin target material. It is suggested that the low mass X-ray binary GX13+1 might provide such a mechanism to produce the observed gamma-rays from the region.
