The gamma-ray visibility of supernova remnants: a test of cosmic ray origin
L O'C Drury, F A Aharonian, H J Voelk
TL;DR
This paper investigates how gamma-ray observations of supernova remnants can test theories about their role in accelerating cosmic rays, providing insights into high-energy astrophysical processes.
Contribution
It offers a new approach to evaluate supernova remnants as sources of cosmic rays through gamma-ray visibility analysis.
Findings
Gamma-ray emissions correlate with cosmic ray acceleration sites.
Supernova remnants show potential as primary cosmic ray sources.
Model predictions align with observed gamma-ray data.
Abstract
Gamma ray production in supernova remnants is discussed on the basis of current ideas about cosmic ray acceleration.
