Abstract

We report a detailed analysis on the young stellar cluster Berkeley 59 using Fermi-LAT. Using up-to-date source catalog and background models, we found significant extended GeV emission around Berkeley 59, which can be modeled by a radial disk of 1.02 degree radius with a significance of the extension of 10.6 sigma. We investigated the molecular, neutral and ionized gas content and the hadronic origin. The gamma-ray spectrum of Berkeley 59 has a photon index of 2.88. The derived gas mass from H2 and HII around Berkeley 59 is about 289 solar mass. We derived the relationship between cosmic ray acceleration efficiency and diffusion coefficient. Our results suggest that the extended gamma-ray emission originates from cosmic rays accelerated by cluster winds interacting with surrounding gas.
