Abstract Transient and variable phenomena in astrophysical sources are of particular importance to understand the underlying gamma-ray emission processes. In the very-high energy gamma-ray domain, transient and variable sources are related to charged particle acceleration processes that could for instance help understanding the origin of cosmic-rays. The imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique used for gamma-ray astronomy above ~ 100 GeV is well suited for detecting such events. However, the standard analysis methods are not optimal for such a goal and more sensitive methods are specifically developed in this publication. The sensitivity improvement could therefore be helpful to detect brief and faint transient sources such as Gamma-Ray Bursts.

地基甚高能γ射线天文瞬态事件的分析方法

摘要 天体物理源中的瞬态和可变现象对于理解潜在的伽马射线发射过程特别重要。在超高能伽马射线领域，瞬态和可变源与带电粒子加速过程有关，例如可以帮助理解宇宙射线的起源。用于 100 GeV 以上伽马射线天文学的大气切伦科夫成像技术非常适合探测此类事件。然而，标准分析方法并不是实现这一目标的最佳方法，本出版物专门开发了更灵敏的方法。因此，灵敏度的提高可能有助于检测短暂和微弱的瞬态源，例如伽马射线爆发。
