Abstract

Recently, from 12 γ-ray Galactic sources, the LHAASO has detected ultrahigh-energy photons up to 1.4 PeV. The γ-ray spectra of the sources J2226+6057, J1908+0621, and J1825-1326 and the suggested origin pulsars near the sources have been published. In our previous work, we studied the hadronic γ-ray spectra of the sources J2226+6057, J1908+0621, and J1825-1326 in terms of the Hertzian dipole model of pulsars. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of the leptonic origin of the γ-ray. We use the Hertzian dipole model to describe the pulsars around the sources. The electrons around the pulsars can be accelerated to PeV by the electromagnetic fields of pulsars. Under the assumption that the initial electrons are uniformly distributed in a spherical shell between and m around the pulsar, we obtain the energy distribution of electrons. The leptonic γ-ray spectra can be calculated through inverse Compton scattering processes. The leptonic γ-ray can roughly conform to the observation of LHAASO.
