Point source of very high energy gamma ray
Description
Recent experiments show the positive evidences of point sources of very high energy gamma rays above 1012eV. In the energy region of 1015-16eV, the most reliable evidences are found on Cyg X-3 among the reported sources. A brief review of the experimental works on the source is introduced. The emission mechanism of very high energy gamma ray in Cyg X-3 is also discussed. Intensive fluxes of cosmic ray proton at the source can explain the observed value of the gamma ray flux. This indicates the possibility that the high energy cosmic ray particles are originated at the point source of very high energy gamma ray. (author)
