Source Notes:
This source was formally two entries in TeVCat (SN 1006 NE & SN 1006 SW).
They were combined to one entry on 20241021.
Source position:
Since the gamma-ray emission is localised to multiple regions in
SN 1006, the source position quoted in TeVCat is that given in
SIMBAD.
That position is taken from
Wright et al. (1990):
- R.A. (J2000): 15h 02m 22.1s
- Dec. (J2000): -42d 05' 49''
From
Acero et al. (2010):
- Since H.E.S.S detects 2 distinct regions of emission from SN1006,
corresponding to the North-East and the South-West parts
of the shell, 2 HESS names are used to describe it:
- North-East: HESS J1504-418
- South-West: HESS J1502-421
SN 1006 NE / HESS J1504-418:
- RA (J2000): 15h 04m 03.4s
- Dec (J2000): -41d 48' 11''
SN 1006 SW / HESS J1502-421:
- RA (J2000): 15h 02m 03.2s
- Dec (J2000): -41d 07' 05''
Spectral Information:
The fluxes (E > 1TeV) of HESS J1504-418 and HESS J1502-421
are slightly different (units 10e-12 cm-2 s-1):
- NE / HESS J1504-418: 0.233 +/- 0.043 (stat) +/- 0.047 (syst)
- SW / HESS J1502-421: 0.155 +/- 0.037 (stat) +/- 0.031 (syst)
The spectral indices of HESS J1504-418 and HESS J1502-421 are slightly different:
- NE / HESS J1504-418: 2.35 +/- 0.14 (stat) +/- 0.2 (syst)
- SW / HESS J1502-421: 2.29 +/- 0.18 (stat) +/- 0.2 (syst)

Fermi-LAT Detection:
From
Condon et al. (2017):
- the first high-significance GeV gamma-ray detection of SN 1006
at GeV energies with eight years of Fermi-LAT Pass 8 data is reported:
- they "confirm the detection of SN 1006 at approx. 6 sigma with a
spectral index of 1.79 +/- 0.17stat +/- 0.27syst. The northeast (NE)
and southwest (SW) limbs of SN 1006 were also fit separately,
resulting in the detection of the NE region (spectral index 1.47 +/-
0.26stat) and the non-detection of the SW region. The significance of
different spectral components for the two limbs is 3.6 sigma,
providing first indications of an asymmetry in the GeV gamma-ray
emission."
