Supernova Remnants and GLAST
It has long been speculated that supernova remnants represent a major source of cosmic rays in the Galaxy. Observations over the past decade have ceremoniously unveiled direct evidence of particle acceleration in SNRs to energies approaching the knee of the cosmic ray spectrum. Nonthermal X-ray emission from shell-type SNRs reveals multi-TeV electrons, and the dynamical properties of several SN...
متن کاملNeutron Stars in Supernova Remnants
In the following, we shall briefly summarize some facts and ideas concerning the presence of neutron stars in Supernova remnants. While sources similar to the Crab Nebula require the presence of a central energetic object, shell-type remnants such as Cas A are compatible with the presence of neutron stars releasing a weak relativistic wind. Supernova remnants are usually classified into two ext...
متن کاملSupernova Remnants in Molecular Clouds
Massive (>∼8 M ) stars may end their lives in the molecular clouds in which they were born. O-type stars probably have sufficient photoionizing radiation and wind power to clear a region > 15 pc in radius of molecular material. Early B stars (B1–B3 on the main sequence, or 8 − 12 M stars) are not capable of this and may interact directly with molecular gas. Molecular clouds are known to be clum...
متن کاملPuzzling Pulsars and Supernova Remnants
The fact that the majority of the youngest radio pulsars are surrounded by expanding supernova remnants is strong evidence that neutron stars are produced in the supernovae of massive stars. In many cases, the pulsar appears significantly offset from the geometric centre of the supernova remnant, indicating that the neutron star has moved away from the site of the explosion with a substantial s...
متن کاملRadio Emission from Supernova Remnants: Implications for Post-Shock Magnetic Field Amplification & the Magnetic Fields of Galaxies
Using observational data from the literature, we show that the non-thermal radio luminosity (L) of supernova remnants (SNRs) is a strong function of the average gas surface density (Σg) of the galaxy in which the remnants reside, from normal spirals to dense luminous starbursts. Our result supports the interpretation of the radio sources in M82 and Arp 220 as normal SNRs, and not “radio” supern...
