TeV GAMMA RAYS FROM PLERIONS AND RESULTS OF CAN- GAROO PROJECT T. Kifune for CANGAROO Group

چکیده
Ground-based detection of very high energy gamma rays at Tev energies is discussed by using as example the emission from pulsar nebulae and supernova remnants. Copious production of electrons and positrons characterizes the point sources of gamma rays, and the radiation of electrons links TeV region tightly to the other bands, giving us the means of the `multi-wavelengths analysis' to investigate production, acceleration and interaction of energetic particles. The point-like source of gamma rays by proton progenitor still remains to be uncovered.

HIGH ENERGY GAMMA RAYS Mathieu de Naurois
The Very High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy (VHE) is a rapidly evolving branch of modern astronomy, which covers the range from about 50 GeV to several tens of TeV from the ground. In the past years, the second generation instruments firmly established a growing and varied list of sources including plerions, supernova remnants and active galactic nuclei, and started to study some fundamental quest...

Due to observations made by the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory over the last six years, it appears that a number of galactic supernova remnants may be candidates for sources of cosmic gamma-rays. These include shell-type remnants such as IC443 and γ Cygni, which have no known parent pulsars, but have significant associations with unidentified EGRET sources, and others that appear to be composite...

متن کاملOn the Coupling of Rotation Powered Pulsars to Plerionic Nebulae
After discussion of observational constraints on the nature of the MHD wind coupling between the Crab Pulsar and the Crab Nebula, the theory of transverse relativistic shock structure is reviewed and applied to the interpretation of the wisps in the Nebula as the manifestation of the distributed wind termination shock structure, energetically dominated by heavy ions, accelerated in the rotation...
