$\gamma$-ray Emission from Classical Nova V392 Per: Measurements from Fermi and HAWC
Abstract
This paper reports on the -ray properties of the 2018 Galactic nova V392 Per, spanning photon energies 0.1 GeV to 100 TeV by combining observations from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the HAWC Observatory. In one of the most rapidly evolving -ray signals yet observed for a nova, GeV rays with a power law spectrum with index were detected over eight days following V392 Per's optical maximum. HAWC observations constrain the TeV -ray signal during this time and also before and after. We observe no statistically significant evidence of TeV -ray emission from V392 Per, but present flux limits. Tests of the extension of the Fermi/LAT spectrum to energies above 5 TeV are disfavored by 2 standard deviations (95\%) or more. We fit V392 Per's GeV rays with hadronic acceleration models, incorporating optical observations, and compare the calculations with HAWC limits.
