Does or did the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A operate as a PeVatron?

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An +276

For decades, supernova remnants (SNRs) have been considered the prime sources of Galactic Cosmic rays (CRs). But whether SNRs can accelerate CR protons to PeV energies and thus dom…

A tera-electronvolt afterglow from a narrow jet in an extremely bright gamma-ray burst 221009A

LHAASO Collaboration

Some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have an afterglow in the tera-electronvolt (TeV) band, but the early onset of this afterglow has not been observed. We report observations with the Lar…
