Discovery of the X-ray Counterpart to the Rotating Radio Transient J1819--1458
S. P. Reynolds, K. J. Borkowski, B. M. Gaensler +10
We present the discovery of the first X-ray counterpart to a Rotating RAdio Transient (RRAT) source. RRAT J1819--1458 is a relatively highly magnetized (B G)…
Supernova Remnant 1987A: High Resolution Images and Spectrum from Chandra Observations
Sangwook Park, Svetozar A. Zhekov, David N. Burrows +3
We report on the morphological and spectral evolution of SNR 1987A from the monitoring observations with the Chandra/ACIS. As of 2005, the X-ray-bright lobes are continuously brigh…
Constraints on the Physics of Type Ia Supernovae from the X-Ray Spectrum of the Tycho Supernova Remnant
Carles Badenes, Kazimierz J. Borkowski, John P. Hughes +2
In this paper we use high quality X-ray observations from XMM-Newton and Chandra to gain new insights into the explosion that originated Tycho's supernova 433 years ago. We perform…
Nucleosynthesis in the Outflow from Gamma Ray Burst Accretion Disks
R. Surman, G. C. McLaughlin, W. R. Hix
We examine the nucleosynthesis products that are produced in the outflow from rapidly accreting disks. We find that the type of element synthesis varies dramatically with the degre…
Discovery of Outlying, High-Velocity Oxygen-Rich Ejecta in Cassiopeia A
R. A. Fesen, M. C. Hammell, J. Morse +7
Hubble Space Telescope images of the young Galactic supernova remnant Cassiopeia A reveal a far larger population of outlying, high-velocity knots of ejecta with a broader range of…
Morphology of synchrotron emission in young supernova remnants
Gamil Cassam-Chenai, Anne Decourchelle, Jean Ballet +1
In the framework of test-particle and cosmic-ray modified hydrodynamics, we calculate synchrotron emission radial profiles in young ejecta-dominated supernova remnants (SNRs) evolv…
The Spherical Accretion Shock Instability in the Linear Regime
John M. Blondin, Anthony Mezzacappa
We use time-dependent, axisymmetric, hydrodynamic simulations to study the linear stability of the stalled, spherical accretion shock that arises in the post-bounce phase of core-c…
Test-Particle Diffusive Shock Acceleration in Relativistic Shocks
Donald C. Ellison
We present results from a fully relativistic Monte Carlo simulation of diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) in unmodified (i.e., test-particle) shocks. The computer code uses a singl…
Thermal Particle Injection in Nonlinear Diffusive Shock Acceleration
Donald C. Ellison, Pasquale Blasi, Stefano Gabici
Particle acceleration in collisionless astrophysical shocks, i.e., diffusive shock acceleration (DSA), is the most likely mechanism for producing cosmic rays, at least below 10^{15…
Radio and X-ray Profiles in Supernova Remnants Undergoing Efficient Cosmic Ray Production
Donald C. Ellison, Gamil Cassam-Chenai
The strong shocks in young supernova remnants (SNRs) should accelerate cosmic rays (CRs) and no doubt exists that \rel electrons are produced in SNRs. However, direct and convincin…
Chandra Observations of Shock Kinematics in Supernova Remnant 1987A
S. A. Zhekov, R. McCray, K. J. Borkowski +2
We report the first results from deep X-ray observations of the SNR 1987A with the Chandra LETG. Temperatures inferred from line ratios range from 0.1 - 2 keV and increase with ion…
Chandra HETGS Multi-Phase Spectroscopy of the Young Magnetic O Star theta^1 Orionis C
Marc Gagne, Mary E. Oksala, David H. Cohen +5
We report on four Chandra grating observations of the oblique magnetic rotator theta^1 Ori C (O5.5 V) covering a wide range of viewing angles with respect to the star's 1060 G dipo…
Multiwavelength Spectral Models for SNR G347.3-0.5 from Non-Linear Shock Acceleration
Matthew G. Baring, Donald C. Ellison, Patrick O. Slane
The remnant G347.3-0.5 exhibits strong shell emission in the radio and X-ray bands, and has a purported detection in the TeV gamma-ray band by the CANGAROO-II telescope. The CANGAR…
Thermal X-Ray Emission from Shocked Ejecta in Type Ia Supernova Remnants II: Parameters Affecting the Spectrum
C. Badenes, K. J. Borkowski, E. Bravo
The supernova remnants left behind by Type Ia supernovae provide an excellent opportunity for the study of these enigmatic objects. In a previous work, we showed that it is possibl…
A Model Grid for the Spectral Analysis of X-ray Emission in Young Type Ia Supernova Remnants
C. Badenes, E. Bravo, K. Borkowski
We address a new set of models for the spectral analysis of the X-ray emission from young, ejecta-dominated Type Ia supernova remnants. These models are based on hydrodynamic simul…
