Caption

Gamma-ray image above 10 TeV around SNR G106.3+2.7 as seen by the Tibet ASgamma experiment. PSF shows smearing by the angular resolution. Black/cyan contours represent the SNR shell and the location of nearby molecular clouds, respectively. The gray diamond is the location of the pulsar. The red star with a statistical error circle, the black X, the magenta cross and the blue triangle indicate the centroid of the gamma-ray emission region determined by the Tibet ASgamma experiment, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the VERITAS Cherenkov telescope and the HAWC experiment, respectively.
