摘要
The gamma-ray spectral feature of the blazar 1ES 0502+675 is investigated by using Fermi Large Area Telescope Pass 8 data (between 100 MeV and 300 GeV) covering from 2008 August to 2021 April. A significant (similar to 4 sigma) hardening at similar to 1 GeV is found in the gamma-ray spectrum during a moderately flaring state (MJD 55050-55350). The photon index below and above the break energy is Gamma(1) = 2.36 +/- 0.31 and Gamma(2) = 1.33 +/- 0.11, respectively. In the rest of the observations, the gamma-ray spectrum can be described by a power-law form with the photon index of approximate to 1.6. In the frame of a one-zone synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) model, the spectral hardening is interpreted as the transition between the synchrotron component and the SSC component. This could be the result of a slight increase of the break or maximum Lorentz factor of the electrons.
