Fig. 3: Sketch depicting the interpretation of the measurements. Cosmic-ray electrons are accelerated at the cluster wind termination shock (pink). High-energy electrons lose their energy quickly and emit the TeV gamma-ray emission measured with H.E.S.S.. Lower-energy electrons are transported along the nascent outflow and generate the GeV gamma-ray emission detected with Fermi-LAT.
