Source Notes:
Statistical Significance:
From
ARGO-YBJ Collaboration (2013):
- 4.3 sigma
- "ARGO J1910+0720 is detected at only 4.3 s.d., and the nearby source
ARGO J1907+0627 could contribute to the observed excess. With the
current statistics we cannot exclude the possibility of a background
fluctuation. However, this is an interesting region for follow-up
observations with more sensitive instruments."
Source Association
- "ARGO J1907+0627 is consistent in position with
HESS J1908+063,
while ARGO J1910+0720 is completely outside the extended region of
HESS J1908+063. In a previous work, these two sources have been
considered as a single unique source, identified as the extended
source
MGRO J1908+06"
