Zusammenfassung:HESS J1420−607 is a γ -ray emitting source associated with the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) powered by the energetic pulsar PSR J1420−6048. Based on 14 yr of data obtained with the Fermi Large Area Telescope, we re-analyzed its GeV γ -ray radiative properties, resulting in detailed spectra obtained within the band 10–200 GeV. Moreover, we use a one-zone time-dependent model for the multiband nonthermal emission from pulsar wind nebulae to investigate the radiative properties of the nebula associated with HESS J1420−607. Assuming that the electrons/positrons are injected into the PWN with a broken power law spectrum with indexes of ∼1.6 and ∼2.7, as well as a break Lorentz factor of ∼5 × 10 6 , the results indicate that the multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution is consistent with the detected fluxes in both X-rays and γ -rays. The results support that the γ -rays detected can be produced via inverse Compton scattering of the energetic electrons/positrons within the PWN.
