The loss-limited electron energy in SN 1006: effects of the shock velocity and of the diffusion process
M. Miceli, F. Bocchino, A. Decourchelle +3
The spectral shape of the synchrotron X-ray emission from SN 1006 reveals the fundamental role played by radiative losses in shaping the high-energy tail of the electron spectrum.…
XMM-Newton evidence of shocked ISM in SN 1006: indications of hadronic acceleration
M. Miceli, F. Bocchino, A. Decourchelle +5
Shock fronts in young supernova remnants are the best candidates for being sites of cosmic ray acceleration up to a few PeV, though conclusive experimental evidence is still lackin…
The shape of the cutoff in the synchrotron emission of SN 1006 observed with XMM-Newton
M. Miceli, F. Bocchino, A. Decourchelle +3
Synchrotron X-ray emission from the rims of young supernova remnants allows us to study the high-energy tail of the electrons accelerated at the shock front. The analysis of X-ray…
The high resolution X-ray spectrum of SNR 0506-68 using XMM-Newton
S. Broersen, J. Vink, J. Kaastra +1
Aims: We study the supernova remnant 0506-68 in order to obtain detailed information about, among other things, the ionisation state and age of the ionised plasma. Methods: Using t…
