摘要 | The nearby radio galaxy M87 is a very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitter established by observations with ground-based gamma-ray detectors. Here we report the long-term monitoring of M87 from 2021 to 2024 with the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). M87 has been detected by LHAASO with a statistical significance similar to 9 sigma. The observed energy spectrum extends to 20 TeV, with a possible hardening at similar to 20 TeV and then a clear softening at higher energies. Assuming that the intrinsic spectrum is described by a single power law up to 20 TeV, a tight upper bound on the extragalactic background light intensity is obtained. A strong VHE flare lasting 8 days, with a rise time of tau(rise)(r) = 1.05 +/- 0.49 days and decay time of tau(decay)(d) = 2.17 +/- 0.58 days, was found in early 2022. A possible GeV flare is seen also in Fermi Large Area Telescope data during the VHE flare period. The variability time as short as 1 day seen in the LHAASO data suggests a compact emission region with a size of similar to 3 x 10(15) delta cm (delta being the Doppler factor of the emitting region), corresponding to a few Schwarzschild radii of the central supermassive black hole in M87. The continuous monitoring of the source reveals a duty cycle of similar to 1% for VHE flares with a flux above 10(-11) erg cm(-2) s(-1). |
