The interstellar medium in young supernova remnants: key to the production of cosmic X-rays and $\gamma $-rays

چکیده
We review recent progress in elucidating the relationship between high-energy radiation and interstellar medium (ISM) young supernova remnants (SNRs) with ages of $\sim$2000 yr, focusing particular on RX J1713.7$-$3946 RCW 86. Both SNRs emit strong nonthermal X-rays TeV $\gamma$-rays, they contain clumpy distributions gas that includes both atomic molecular hydrogen. find shock-cloud interactions provide a viable explanation for spatial correlation ISM. In these interactions, shocks hit typically pc-scale dense cores, generating highly turbulent velocity field amplifies magnetic up to 0.1-1 mG. This amplification leads enhanced synchrotron emission around clumps, whereas cosmic-ray electrons do not penetrate clumps. Accordingly, exhibit distribution similar ISM pc scale, while are anticorrelated at sub-pc scales. These results predict hadronic $\gamma$-rays can be emitted from resulting correspondence The current resolution $\gamma$-ray observations is too low resolve this correspondence. Future Cherenkov Telescope Array will able sub-pc-scale clues origin cosmic $\gamma$-rays.

X-rays from Supernova Remnants
A summary of X-ray observations of supernova remnants is presented including the explosion fragment A of the Vela SNR, Tycho, N132D, RX J08524622, the Crab Nebula and the ’bulls eye’, and SN 1987A, high-lighting the progress made with Chandra and XMMNewton and touching upon the questions which arise from these observations and which might inspire future research.
متن کاملGamma-Rays and Neutrinos from Very Young Supernova Remnants
We consider the result of acceleration of heavy ions in the slot gap potential of a very young pulsar with a hot polar cap. Photodisintegration of the heavy ions in the radiation field of the polar cap and pulsar surface gives rise to a flux of energetic neutrons. Some fraction of these neutrons interact with target nuclei in the supernova shell to produce a prompt neutrino and gamma-ray signal...
متن کاملEffect of nearby supernova remnants to the local Cosmic-Rays
The effect of different particle release time from the sources to the cosmic-ray (CR) spectrum below 10eV in the Galaxy are studied in detail. We discuss different possible forms of particle injection like the burst-like injection, continuous injection for a finite time, injection from a stationary source and energy dependent injection. When applied to the nearby known supernova remnants, it is...
متن کاملHadronic Gamma Rays from Supernova Remnants
A gas cloud near a supernova remnant (SNR) provides a target for pp-collisions leading to subsequent γ-ray emission through π-decay. The assumption of a power-law ambient spectrum of accelerated particles with index near –2 is usually built into models predicting the spectra of very-high energy (VHE) γ-ray emission from SNRs. However, if the gas cloud is located at some distance from the SNR sh...
متن کاملVery High Energy Gamma Rays from Supernova Remnants and Constraints on the Galactic Interstellar Radiation Field
The large-scale Galactic interstellar radiation field (ISRF) is the result of stellar emission and dust re-processing of starlight. Where the energy density of the ISRF is high (e.g., the Galactic Centre), the dominant γ-ray emission in individual supernova remnants (SNRs), such as G0.9+0.1, may come from inverse Compton (IC) scattering of the ISRF. Several models of the ISRF exist. The most re...
