摘要
HESS J1843-033 is a very high energy gamma-ray source whose origin remains unidentified. This work presents, for the first time, the energy spectrum of gamma rays beyond 100 TeV from the HESS J1 843-03 3 region using the data recorded by the Tibet air shower array and its underground muon detector array. A gamma-ray source with an extension of 0 degrees 34 +/- 0 degrees 12 is successfully detected above 25 TeV at (alpha, delta) = (281 degrees 09 +/- 0 degrees 10, -3 degrees 76 +/- 0 degrees 09) near HESS J1843-033 with a statistical significance of 6.2 sigma, and the source is named TASG J1844-038. The position of TASG J1844-038 is consistent with those of HESS J1843-033, eHWC J1842-035, and LHAASO J1843-0338. The measured gamma-ray energy spectrum in 25 TeV < E < 130 TeV is described with dN/dE = (9.70 +/- 1.89) x 10(-16) (E/40 TeV)(-3.26 +/- 0.30) TeV-1 cm(-2) s(-1), and the spectral fit to the combined spectra of HESS J1843-033, LHAASO J1843-0338, and TASG J1844-038 implies the existence of a cutoff at 49.5 +/- 9.0 TeV. Associations of TASG J1844-038 with SNR G28.6-0.1 and PSR J1844-0346 are also discussed in detail for the first time.
