GeV emission in the region of Vela: a new view of the supernova remnant
Most GeV point sources near Vela are spurious and the emission comes from the extended supernova remnant itself.

Record completeness
Claims
We conclude that the majority of the cataloged point sources are likely spurious, and the GeV gamma rays come from an extended source, which we argue is the counterpart of the Vela SNR. ... The spectrum of the emission is best fit with a hadronic model.
The two machine-learning classifiers correctly determine that the cataloged sources do not belong to the pulsar or AGN populations, and that the remaining residual emission is produced by the SNR rather than by unrecognized sources or background.
Most cataloged Fermi point sources in the Vela region are spurious; the GeV emission is extended hadronic emission from the supernova remnant.
