Description
A new extended gamma-ray source (named as PS J1934.5+1845) was detected with a significance of ~13σ at a location of 1.83 degrees away from the radio location of the Galactic supernova remnant 3C 400.2 using about 9 years of Fermi-LAT data. The 68% containment radius of PS J1934.5+1845's extension was found to be 0.61 degrees and PS J1934.5+1845 is showing a power-law type spectrum with a spectral index of 2.38. In this presentation we will summarize the gamma-ray analysis methods and report on the analysis results related to the extension and spectrum of PS J1934.5+1845. We will also give preliminary results on the variability analysis and modeling of the spectrum of PS J1934.5+1845 in order to better understand its nature.
