Modeling of Extended Emission (1) Point sources and/or small structures removed Non X-ray Background (NXB) subtracted (xisnxbgen) The remain = Cosmic X-ray background (CXB) +Galactic Ridge X-ray Emission (GRXE) +possible emission from Cocoon –CXB is fixed to PL of (  =1.41, N=9.6x10 -4 [c/s/cm 2 /keV]) based on Kushino+02. N(H)=2x10 22 [cm 2 ] assumed –GRXE is modeled by three-temperature plasma (apec) based on Uchiyama+09 –Then examine residuals in spectrum to see if there are any excess (=possible emission from Cocoon)

Modeling of Extended Emission (2) Point sources and NXB subtracted The remain = CXB+GRXE(+possible emission from Cocoon) –CXB is fixed to PL of Kushino+02. –GRXE is modeled with three-temperature plasma (Uchiyama+09) count/s/keV Energy [keV]  Source1 Spectrum (XIS0) apec: Soft (~0.05 keV) apec: Medium (~0.7 keV) PL (CXB) apec: Hard (~5 keV)

Latitude Dependence of Extended Emission Point sources and NXB subtracted The remain = CXB+GRXE(+possible emission from Cocoon) CXB-subtracted brightness shows monotonous decrease as latitude increases (as GRXE does) brightness [10 -7 erg/s/cm^2/sr] Galactic Latitude [deg] BG1 BG2 Source1 Source2 CXB-subtracted brightness (2-10 keV) Most of (CXB-subtracted) emission comes from GRXE region CXB-subtracted brightness @2-10 keV [erg/s/cm 2 /sr] Source1 Source2 BG1 BG2

10 10 2014-03_CygCocoon_Suzaku_JPS.ppt T. Mizuno et al. CRs to explain Cygnus Cocoon in X-ray and  -ray Most of CXB-subtracted emission comes from GRXE Conservative upper limit of X-rays from Cocoon is obtained by subtracting brightness of BG2 (=lower limit of GRXE at source positions) regionupper limit of X-rays from Cygnus Cocoon Source1 Source2 Upper limit of X-ray emission (av. of S1 and S2) <= 40% of the expectation of electron scenario  -ray excess is due to (1) CR protons or (2) CR electrons with cutoff at <= 50 TeV

11 11 2014-03_CygCocoon_Suzaku_JPS.ppt T. Mizuno et al. Summary & Future Plan We observed Cygnus Cocoon (  -ray excess in Cygnus-X found by Fermi) by Suzaku-XIS Most of extended emission comes from CXB+GRXE Conservative upper limit of X-rays from Cocoon is <=40% of electron scenario expectation, suggesting –(1)  -ray excess is due to protons, or –(2) electrons with cutoff at <= 50 TeV Detailed discussion based on multiwavelength spectrum is underway

15 15 2014-03_CygCocoon_Suzaku_JPS.ppt T. Mizuno et al. Conservative upper limit of X-ray emission is <=40% of the expectation, requiring cutoff of CR electron (in electron scenario) Simple Argument of CR Electron Cutoff Synchrotron X-ray For B=20 μG, E e of 50 TeV required to produce 1 keV X- ray In electron scenario, cutoff in <= 50 TeV is required to explain (non-detection of) X-rays
