Description
Using observation data of the Tibet air shower array in different periods, a region with the highest excess of 4.4 σ in the multi-TeV was detected from the SNR G40.5-0.5 direction, although statistically insignificant yet. The position of the highest excess is located around the EGRET unidentified source 3EG J1903+0550. (author)
