Spectral energy distribution of the southern structure fitted with leptonic and hadronic models. The left and right panels show the SEDs derived with the southern eB and Loop I spatial templates, respectively. The leptonic scenario (inverse-Compton) assumes a BPL (γ1 = 1.5) electron distribution. For the hadronic (pp) fits, a PL or ECPL proton distribution is adopted, with target gas densities assumed to be nH = 1.0 cm−3 for the local components and nH = 10−3 cm−3 for the Galactic-scale structure toward the GC. Upper limits are shown for reference and are not used in computing the model likelihoods reported in Table 1.
