LAT <strong>Observations</strong> <strong>of</strong> Vela X (spectrum)• As noted by de Jager et al. (2008, ApJ, 689, L125), the SED strongly favors a twocomponentleptonic model• Hadronic model is disfavoured• SEDs were computed from evolving power-law electron populations, one eachfor the X-ray/VHE-peak cocoon and radio/MeV-peak halo:– Halo : This region requires a 130 GeV exponential cut-<strong>of</strong>f controlledby the cut-<strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> the injected spectrum– Cocoon :• Synchrotron/Comptonpeak ratio <strong>of</strong> the cocoonimplies a B=4µG with smalluncertainty• This region requires a 600TeV exponential cut-<strong>of</strong>fcontrolled by the coolingbreakMultiwavelength spectrum <strong>of</strong> Vela XSee also A.
