Non-thermal emission from the vicinity of the magnetar CXOU J171405.7-381031

Magnetars are neutron stars with ultra-strong magnetic fields (B ~ 1014–1015 G) and are promising candidates for high-energy particle acceleration. We present a multiwavelength analysis of the region surrounding CXOU J171405.7–381031, a magnetar associated with the supernova remnant (SNR) CTB 37B. The broadband spectral energy distribution spanning radio to TeV energies is modeled using leptonic and lepto-hadronic scenarios, with particle populations constrained using Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques. Within an SNR framework, both scenarios provide acceptable descriptions of the gamma-ray data. The purely leptonic model reproduces the overall spectral shape but slightly underestimates the highest-energy flux measured by H.E.S.S., whereas a lepto-hadronic interpretation offers an improved description above ~10 TeV, with inverse-Compton scattering dominating the GeV emission and neutral-pion decay contributing at the highest energies. The required proton energy (Wp ≳ 1051 erg) can be substantially reduced if the remnant interacts with a dense ambient medium. A magnetar wind nebula scenario can reproduce the broadband spectrum but is strongly disfavored by the observed source morphology. Simulated Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) observations indicate that exposures of ~50 h will constrain the proton cut-off energy, enabling a decisive test of hadronic emission in this region.
