Source Notes:

Details of the source detection:
From Cao et al. (2021):
- "At 100 TeV, the angular and energy resolutions are about 15–20 arcmin
and better than 20%, respectively, allowing adequate spectroscopic and
morphological studies."
- "The statistical significance of the detection above 100 TeV is calculated
using a 0.3deg extension template"
- "Crab Units (CU), flux of the Crab Nebula at 100 TeV; 1 CU = 6.1 x 10-17 photons TeV-1 cm-2 s-1)"
- Significance above 100 TeV: 16.4 sigma
- E_max (PeV): 0.42 +/- 0.16
- Differential photon flux at 100 TeV (CU): 3.57 +/- 0.52
- On-source events/Off-source events: 61/3.2
- Exposure (hr): 1149.3

Source Position:
From Cao et al. (2021):
- R.A. (J2000): 276.45 = 18h 25m 48s
- Dec. (J2000): -13.45 = -13d 27m

Spectral Properties:
From Cao et al. (2021):
- "For the three most significantly detected sources, LHAASO J1825-1326,
LHAASO J1908+0621 and LHAASO J2226+6057, we determine their SEDs."
- The authors show "the spectral energy distributions of three
luminous sources with fluxes exceeding 1 CU (at 100 TeV): LHAASO
J1825-1326, LHAASO J1908+0621 and LHAASO J2226+6057. Above 100 TeV,
the spectra of these sources are steep, characterized by a power-law
photon index of approx. 3. However, a closer look reveals that
between 10 TeV and 500 TeV, the spectra experience gradual
steepening with energy. To explore this tendency, the spectra were
fitted by the so-called log-parabola function dN/dE ∝ E-A(E), where
the local photon index A(E) = a + blogE (a and b are free
parameters) characterizes the slope of the tangent. For all three
spectra, the log-parabola fits are preferred over simple power-law
fits. The gradual steepening of multi-hundred-teraelectronvolt gamma
rays is partly due to the photon-photon absorption that occurs
during their interactions with the diffuse far-infrared and
microwave radiation fields."
- For LHAASO J1825-1326 the parameters of the fit are:
... a: 0.92
... b: 1.19
... A: 3.36
