The Kavli FoundationThe National Science Foundation UnID Sources & Diffuse Emission Classes of established extragalactic gamma-ray emitters:  blazars  normal galaxies  ? (extragalactic unidentified sources) As with blazars and normal galaxies, some contribution from unIDs to the diffuse background is guaranteed: –Similar unresolved extragalactic objects contribute to EGRB –Most numerous sources However: uncertainties!

The Kavli FoundationThe National Science Foundation We seek to answer 2 questions: 1.How plausible is that extragalactic unresolved unIDs, have an insignificant contribution to gamma-ray background? (use numbers/fluxes to answer this question) 2.Would collective unresolved emission from unIDs be spectrally consistent with the gamma-ray background? (use spectral indices to answer this question) Our approach: is it OK to sweep UnID EGRB under the rug?

The Kavli FoundationThe National Science Foundation Which resolved sources? 1. Exclude sources which are likely to be Galactic based on location on the sky 2.Try analysis with 3 different samples (from “generous” to “conservative”) to test sensitivity of results a) all sources with no 3EG ID + all “maybe blazars” b) all sources with no 3EG ID c) all sources with neither 3EG ID nor later proposed possible ID

The Kavli FoundationThe National Science Foundation Fit a power-law to cumulative flux distribution of resolved unIDs How far can I extrapolate to lower fluxes before EGRET EGRB is exceeded? Is a significant unID EGRB component far-fetched?

The Kavli FoundationThe National Science Foundation unresolved unID spectrum Strong, Moskalenko & Reimer (2004) Sreekumar et al (1998) EGRB fit SMR (2004) EGRB SMR (2004) systematics How would the unresolved unID spectrum compare to that of the EGRB? Calculate unresolved emission spectrum by assuming spectral index distribution of unresolved objects same as that of resolved objects Careful! measurement errors important

The Kavli FoundationThe National Science Foundation Conclusions Contribution of unresolved unIDs to diffuse emission guaranteed, likely to be important: –If flux distribution does not break for ~ 1 order of magnitude, enough to account for all of EGRB in low energies –If spectral index distribution same in resolved and unresolved sources, spectrum consistent with Strong et al EGRB within systematic uncertainties Hint for other component at higher energies? Future directions: GLAST + specific models of unID unresolved emission We can never hope to adequately understand the origin of the extragalactic diffuse emission without at least some understanding of the nature of unidentified sources

The Kavli FoundationThe National Science Foundation

The Kavli FoundationThe National Science Foundation Are most EGRET unIDed sources Galactic or extragalactic? Can isotropy help?

The Kavli FoundationThe National Science Foundation GLAST! Whatever the nature of the EGRET unIDs, GLAST will resolve many more –if unresolved unIDs currently responsible for considerable fraction of EGRB:  associated reduction of GLAST EGRB –If unresolved unIDs currently responsible for considerable fraction of Galactic diffuse emission:  associated reduction of GLAST diffuse MW (GeV excess affected?)

The Kavli FoundationThe National Science Foundation Future directions Simple empirical model  unresolved unIDs have potentially significant contribution to diffuse emission, with good spectra agreement. Worth pursuing more detailed (but also more uncertain) models: –What if most of them AGN? –What if most of them associated with cosmic structure? –What if most of them Galactic?
