Constraints on the PeV emission zone for Point B in Figure 3, i.e., the 3σ solution that yields the global minimum decay index. The two panels show the results for δ = 2 and 3, respectively. The black curves represent the magnetic pair-production optical depth τγB, and the red curves represent the confinement energy Econf. The horizontal dotted lines mark τγB = 1 and the most conservative threshold Econf = 10 PeV. The shaded region shows where both conditions are satisfied simultaneously.
