GALACTIC AND EXTRAGALACTIC SUPERNOVA REMNANTS AS SITES OF PARTICLE ACCELERATION
Acta Polytechnica, 2013 Supernova remnants, owing to their strong shock waves, are likely sources of Galactic cosmic rays. Studies of supernova remnants in X-rays and gamma rays provide us with new insights into the acceleration of particles to high energies. This paper reviews

EMU Detection of a Large and Low Surface Brightness Galactic SNR G288.8–6.3
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present the serendipitous detection of a new Galactic supernova remnant (SNR), G288.8–6.3, using data from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) survey.

A Statistical Analysis of Galactic Radio Supernova Remnants
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 We present a revised table of 390 Galactic radio supernova remnants (SNRs) and their basic parameters. Statistical analyses are performed on SNR diameters, ages, spectral indices, Galactic heights, and spherical symmetries.

Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of the Supernova Remnant G1.9+0.3
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The youngest Galactic supernova remnant G1.9+0.3 shows a discrete feature between its radio and X-ray morphologies. The observed radio morphology features a single maximum in the north, while the X-ray observation shows two opposite “ears” on the east ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The nature of Type Ia supernovae remains controversial. The youngest remnants of Ia supernovae hold clues to the explosion and to the immediate surroundings. We present a third epoch of Chandra observations of the ∼600 yr old Type Ia remnant 0519–69.0 in

The Effects of Elemental Abundances on Fitting Supernova Remnant Models to Data
Universe, 2022 Models for supernova remnant (SNR) evolution can be used to determine the energy of the explosion, the age of the SNR, and the density of the surrounding medium by matching observations. Observed SNR properties derived from the X-ray spectrum include the

The Cygnus Loop: Shock Precursors and Electron–Ion Equilibration
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The outermost edges of some supernova remnants are marked by filaments of pure Balmer line emission produced by nonradiative shock fronts. The H α profiles of these filaments provide the shock speed and electron–proton temperature ratio in the shock.

Particle propagation in clumpy supernova remnants [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 The presence of dense clumps in the environment where a supernova remnant expands might have a strong impact in shaping the observed hadronic gamma-ray spectrum.

Multifrequency observations of one of the largest supernova remnants in the local group of galaxies, LMC - SNR J0450-709 [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2009 We present the results of new Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations of one of the largest supernova remnants, SNR J0450-709, in the Local Group of galaxies.

Gamma-ray emission from young supernova remnants: Hadronic or leptonic?
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016 The debate on the nature of the gamma-ray emission from young supernova remnants is still open. Ascribing such emission to hadronic rather than leptonic processes would provide an evidence for the acceleration of protons and nuclei, and this fact would ...
