Introduction: Gamma-Ray Astrophysics
A powerful probe to study CRs and ISM in distant locations=> Molecular Clouds
g-rays = CRs x ISM (or ISRF)
• known ISM distribution => CRs• those “measured” CRs => ISM

Fermi-LAT Performance
• Large FOV (~2.4p sr)• Large effective area (>=0.7 m2 in >= 1 GeV• Moderate PSF (~0.8 deg@1 GeV, ~0.2 deg@10 GeV)

Modeling of g-ray Data
• Under the assumption of a uniform CR density, g-rays can be represented by a linear combination of template maps
= +
+ Dark Neutral Gas (gas not properly traced by HI and WCO)+ point sources

(HI is usually assumed to be opt-thin; Ts>=120K)(WCO is not a all-sky map)

• Fermi revealed a component of ISM not measurable by those standard tracers
• Amount of “dark gas” is comparable to or greater than gas mass traced by WCO

Compilation of Xco
• g-ray is a useful probe to study Xco– Penetrate the clouds– CR density can be estimated from nearby HI regions– Does not depend on assumptions about the dynamical state
(NB green shaded region was determined using an a priori assumption on CR flux)
Nearby clouds show smaller Xco
Study of other clouds is important

Compilation of local ICR
• “local” CR densities among regions agree by a factor of 1.5, within systematic uncertainty (mostly due to the assumption of Ts)

Summary
• g-ray is a powerful probe to CRs and ISM– optically thin, directly traces all gas phases
• Fermi-LAT performed detailed studies of molecular clouds– confirmation of dark neutral gas– measurement of ICR, Xco(MCO), MDG – but limitation exists …
• Desirable data to resolve limitations– accurate determination of N(HI)– (more) complete survey of Wco
Thank you for your Attention
(sorry not a specific suggestion to 45m Telescope. fine resolution maps are certainly important. would be useful if combined with accurate N(HI) and large-scale Wco)
