Gamma-ray observation towards the young massive star cluster NGC 6618 in the M17 region.

Abstract (from CDS):
Young massive clusters have been established as a new population of gamma-ray sources and potential cosmic ray (CR) accelerators. In this paper, we report the detection of gamma-ray emissions near the young star cluster NGC 6618, which is one of the youngest star clusters in our Galaxy. The detected gamma-ray emissions can be divided into two components. One component is point-like and reveals harder spectrum, while the other is extended and with softer spectrum. Such spectral features are significantly different from other young massive clusters and may be due to the propagation effects of CRs accelerated in NGC 6618.
