Abstract (from CDS):

Recent multiwavelength observations have highlighted magnetars as significant sources of cosmic rays, particularly through their gamma-ray emissions. This study examines three magnetar regions-CXOU J171405.7-31031, Swift J1834-0846, and SGR 1806-20-known for emitting detectable electromagnetic signals. We assess the detectability of these regions using the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) by conducting an ON/OFF spectral analysis and compare the expected results with existing observations. Our findings indicate that CTAO will detect gamma-ray emissions from these three magnetar regions with significantly reduced emission flux errors compared to current instruments. In particular, the study shows that the CXOUJ1714-3810 and SwiftJ1834-0846 magnetar regions can be observed by the full southern and northern CTAO arrays in just 5 hr of observation, with mean significances above 10σ and 30σ, respectively. This paper discusses the regions analyzed, presents key results, and concludes with insights drawn from the study.
