| dc.description.abstract | The recent Fermi detection of the globular cluster (GC) 47 Tucanae highlighted the importance of modeling
collective gamma-ray emission of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in GCs. Steady flux from such populations is also
expected in the very high energy domain covered by ground-based Cherenkov telescopes. We present pulsed
curvature radiation (CR) as well as unpulsed inverse Compton (IC) calculations for an ensemble of MSPs in the
GCs 47 Tucanae and Terzan 5. We demonstrate that the CR from these GCs should be easily detectable for Fermi,
while constraints on the total number of MSPs and the nebular B-field may be derived using the IC flux components | |
