Classification of Unidentified Extended LHAASO Sources based on their Gamma-Ray Morphology: Prospects for Future IACTs

Alberto Bonollo, Paolo Esposito, Andrea Giulisni +4

While Supernova Remnants (SNRs) are widely considered the primary accelerators of cosmic rays (CRs) up to hundreds of TeV, they struggle to account for the CR flux at PeV energies,…
