Millisecond pulsars cannot account for the inner Galaxy’s GeV excess

Millisecond pulsars cannot account for the inner Galaxy’s GeV excess

Using data from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, a spatially extended component of gamma rays has been identified from the direction of the Galactic Center, peaking at energies of ~2-3 GeV. More recently, it has been shown that this signal is not confined to the innermost hundreds of parsecs of …
