Gamma–ray Production in Supernova Remnants
The bulk of the cosmic rays up to about 100 TeV are thought to be accelerated by the 1st order Fermi mechanism at supernova shocks, producing a power-law spectrum. Both electrons and protons should be accelerated, but their ratio on acceleration is not well known. Recently, the EGRET instrument on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory has observed supernova remnants IC 443 and γ Cygni at GeV energi...
متن کاملGamma-ray Production in Supernova Remnants
Supernova remnants are widely believed to be a principal source of galactic cosmic rays, produced by diffusive shock acceleration in the environs of the remnant’s expanding shock. This review discusses recent modelling of how such energetic particles can produce gamma-rays via interactions with the remnants’ ambient interstellar medium, specifically via neutral pion decay, bremsstrahlung and in...
متن کاملModeling Supernova-like Explosions Associated with Gamma-ray Bursts with Short Durations
There is now good evidence linking short-hard GRBs with both elliptical and spiral galaxies at relatively low redshifts, redshift of about 0.2. This contrasts with the average redshift of about 2 of long-duration events, which also occur only in star-forming galaxies. The diversity of hosts is reminiscent of type Ia supernovae, which are widely (but not universally) believed to originate from t...
متن کاملSupernova explosions , 511 keV photons , gamma ray bursts and mirror matter
There are three astroparticle physics puzzles which fire the imagination: the origin of the " Great Positron Producer " in the galactic bulge, the nature of the gamma-ray bursts central engine and the mechanism of supernova explosions. We show that the mirror matter model has the potential to solve all three of these puzzles in one beautifully simple strike.
متن کاملVHE Gamma-ray supernova remnants
Increasing observational evidence gathered especially in X-rays and γ-rays during the course of the last few years support the notion that Supernova remnants (SNRs) are Galactic particle accelerators up to energies close to the “knee” in the energy spectrum of Cosmic rays. This review summarises the current status of γ-ray observations of SNRs. Shell-type as well as plerionic type SNRs are addr...
