The Cygnus Bubble's ultra-high-energy gamma-ray emission above 400 TeV is physically more consistent with a microquasar halo around Cygnus X-3 than with the Cygnus OB2 star-forming region.

Time-dependent cosmic ray electron spectra in a simulated galactic disk match steady-state solutions up to 500 GeV but become steeper and more disk-confined at higher energies due to recent injections.
End-to-end CTAO simulations show that 50h observations will detect Geminga and Monogem TeV halos at 13–30σ and constrain injection index to Δγ₁≈0.2, magnetic field to ΔB≈2μG, and SDZ size for Monogem.

Geminga and Monogem in the CTAO Era: Probing TeV Halos and Cosmic-Ray Transport
End-to-end CTAO simulations show that 50h observations will detect Geminga and Monogem TeV halos at 13–30σ and constrain injection index to Δγ₁≈0.2, magnetic field to ΔB≈2μG, and SDZ size for Monogem.
