Cosmic ray protons and electrons from supernova remnants

چکیده

The spectrum of cosmic ray protons and electrons released by supernova remnants throughout their evolution is poorly known, because the difficulty in accounting for particle escape confinement downstream a shock front, where both adiabatic radiative losses are present. Here we calculate during supernovae different types, from upstream particles advected liberated at later times. same calculation carried out electrons. magnetic field post-shock region calculated using an analytic treatment amplification due to non--resonant resonant streaming instability saturation. We find that when result growth cosmic-ray--driven alone, remnant indeed different, but such difference becomes appreciable only energies $\gtrsim 100-1000$ GeV, while observations electron require be present as low $\sim 10$ GeV. An effect requires substantial late stages (shock velocity $\ll 1000$ km/s), perhaps not hydrodynamical processes. comment on feasibility conditions speculate possibility spectral shape between may reflect either some unknown acceleration effect, or additional energy cocoons around sources.

The Most Likely Sources of High Energy Cosmic - Ray Electrons in Supernova Remnants

Evidences of non-thermal X-ray emission and TeV gamma-rays from the su-pernova remnants (SNRs) has strengthened the hypothesis that primary Galactic cosmic-ray electrons are accelerated in SNRs. High energy electrons lose energy via synchrotron and inverse Compton processes during propagation in the Galaxy. Due to these radiative losses, TeV electrons liberated from SNRs at distances larger tha...

Supernova remnants in molecular clouds: on cosmic ray electron spectra

The particle acceleration process at a shock wave, in the presence of the second-order Fermi acceleration in the turbulent medium near the shock, is discussed as an alternative explanation for the observed flat synchrotron spectra of supernova remnants (SNRs) in molecular clouds. We argue that medium Alfvén Mach number shocks considered by Chevalier (1999) for such SNRs can naturally lead to th...

Multiwavelength Signatures of Cosmic Ray Acceleration by Young Supernova Remnants

An overview is given of multiwavelength observations of young supernova remnants, with a focus on the observational signatures of efficient cosmic ray acceleration. Some of the effects that may be attributed to efficient cosmic ray acceleration are the radial magnetic fields in young supernova remnants, magnetic field amplification as determined with X-ray imaging spectroscopy, evidence for lar...

Constraints on cosmic-ray origin from TeV gamma-ray observations of supernova remnants

If supernova remnants (SNRs) are the site of cosmicray acceleration, the associated nuclear interactions should result in an observable flux of γ-rays for the nearest SNRs. Measurements of the TeV γ-ray flux from six nearby, radio-bright SNRs have been made with the Whipple Observatory imaging air Čerenkov telescope over the period September 1993 to June 1996. No significant emission has been d...

The primary cosmic ray spectrum in supernova remnants from very high energy γ-ray data

Supernova remnants are likely to be the accelerators of the galactic cosmic rays. Assuming the correctness of this hypothesis, we develop a method to extract the parent cosmic ray spectrum from the VHE gamma ray flux emitted by supernova remnants (and other gamma transparent sources). We illustrate the use of this technique by applying it to the young SNR RX J1713.7-3946 which has been observed...
