Xmm-newton Observations of the Supernova Remnant Ic443: I. Soft X-ray Emission from Shocked Interstellar Medium
The shocked interstellar medium around IC443 produces strong X-ray emission in the soft energy band (E . 1.5 keV). We present an analysis of such emission as observed with the EPIC MOS cameras on board the XMM-Newton observatory, with the purpose to find clear signatures of the interactions with the interstellar medium (ISM) in the X-ray band, which may complement results obtained in other wave...
متن کاملOn the metal abundances inside mixed-morphology supernova remnants: the case of IC443 and G166.0+4.3
Context. Recent developments on the study of mixed morphology supernova remnants (MMSNRs) have revealed the presence of metal rich X-ray emitting plasma inside a fraction of these remnant, a feature not properly addressed by traditional models for these objects. Aims. Radial profiles of thermodynamical and chemical parameters are needed for a fruitful comparison of data and model of MMSNRs, but...
متن کاملISO – SWS spectroscopy of IC 443 and the origin of the IRAS 12 and 25 μ m emission from radiative supernova remnants ⋆
ISO–SWS spectral observations of the supernova remnant IC443 are presented. Like other radiative SNRs, this object is characterized by prominent line–emitting filaments and relatively strong IRAS 12 and 25 m emission which is commonly interpreted as thermal radiation from very small grains stochastically heated by collisions with the hot plasma behind the shock front. This interpretation is cha...
متن کاملSurfatron and stochastic acceleration of electrons at supernova remnant shocks.
The surfatron offers the possibility of particle acceleration to arbitrarily high energies, given a sufficiently large system. Surfatron acceleration of electrons by waves excited by ions reflected from supernova remnant (SNR) shocks is investigated using particle simulations. It is shown that surfatron and stochastic acceleration could provide a seed population for the acceleration of cosmic r...
متن کاملGbt Observations of Ic443: the Nature of Oh(1720 Mhz) Masers and Oh Absorption
We present spectral line observations of the ground state transitions of hydroxyl(OH) toward supernova remnant(SNR) IC443 carried out with the Green Bank Telescope. Weak, extended OH(1720 MHz) maser emission with OH(1667,1665,1612 MHz) absorption is detected along the southern extent of the remnant where no bright compact maser sources have been previously observed. These newly detected SNR-typ...
