The electron temperature distribution and the high ionization just behind the shock in the Cygnus Loop
Masahiro Ichihashi, Aya Bamba, Dai Tateishi +6
The physical processes behind astrophysical collisionless shocks, such as thermal relaxation and ionization after shock passage, remain poorly understood. To investigate these proc…
Measurement of the Forward Shock Velocities of the Supernova Remnant N132D Based on the Thermal X-ray Emission
Yoshizumi Okada, Yuken Ohshiro, Shunsuke Suzuki +4
Measuring shock velocities is crucial for understanding the energy transfer processes at the shock fronts of supernova remnants (SNRs), including acceleration of cosmic rays. Here…
Is the low-energy tail of shock-accelerated protons responsible for over-ionized plasma in supernova remnants?
Makoto Sawada, Liyi Gu, Ryo Yamazaki
Over-ionized, recombining plasma is an emerging class of X-ray bright supernova remnants (SNRs). This unique thermal state where the ionization temperature () is signifi…
Observational constraints on the maximum energies of accelerated particles in supernova remnants
Hiromasa Suzuki, Aya Bamba, Ryo Yamazaki +1
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are thought to be the most plausible sources of Galactic cosmic rays. One of the principal questions is whether they are accelerating particles up to the…
On the influence of shock-cloud interactions on the nonthermal X-ray emission from the supernova remnant RCW 86
Aya Bamba, Hidetoshi Sano, Ryo Yamazaki +1
It is an open issue how the surrounding environment of supernova remnant shocks affect nonthermal X-rays from accelerated electrons, with or without interacting dense material. We…
Bright gamma-ray flares observed in GRB131108A
Donggeun Tak, Z. Lucas Uhm, Bing Zhang
GRB 131108A is a bright long Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) detected by the Large Area Telescope and the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Dedicated temp…
