Hidden Objects in our backyard? The First -ray emission measurement around several TeV by LHAASO

This study by the LHAASO Collaboration presents the first measurement of diffuse gamma-ray emissions in the 1–25 TeV range, revealing excess flux beyond theoretical predictions. The findings suggest hidden gamma-ray sources, such as pulsar wind nebulae or massive star clusters, and indicate spectral variations across the Galactic plane. These results challenge existing cosmic-ray transport models and highlight the need for further observations and refined theoretical frameworks.
