Multi-wavelength study for gamma-ray nova V1405 Cas

Abstract

Novae are found to have GeV to TeV gamma-ray emission, which reveals the shock acceleration from the white dwarfs. Recently, V1405 Cas was reported to radiated suspicious gamma-ray by Fermi-LAT with low significance (4.1 σ) after the optical maximum. Radio observations reveal that it is one of the five brightest novae surrounded by low-density ionized gas columns. Here we report continuous search for GeV gamma-ray from Fermi-LAT. No gamma-ray were found. For V1405 Cas, the flux level is lower than other well-studied Fermi novae, and the gamma-ray maximum appear at t0 + 145 d. Gamma-ray of V1405 Cas are used to search potential gamma-ray periodicity. No gamma-ray periodicity was found during the time of observation. By comparing multi-wavelength data, the gamma-ray upper limit to optical flux ratio with value at around 10-4 is obtained to constrain the shock acceleration. Long-term analysis from Swift-XRT gets X-ray spectral in the post-shock phase, which indicates that V1405 Cas became a super-soft source. The best-fit black body temperature at the super soft state is 0.11 - 0.19 keV.
