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…
Efficient Cosmic Ray Ion Production in Young Supernova Remnants
Donald C. Ellison, Gamil Cassam-Chenai
The strong shocks in young supernova remnants (SNRs) should accelerate cosmic rays (CRs) and no doubt exists that relativistic electrons are produced in SNRs. However, direct evide…
XMM-Newton observations of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 and its central source
G. Cassam-Chenai, A. Decourchelle, J. Ballet +3
We present new results coming from the observations of the supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7--3946 (also G347.3--0.5) performed in five distinct pointings with the EPIC instrument…
XMM-Newton observation of Kepler's supernova remnant
G. Cassam-Chenai, A. Decourchelle, J. Ballet +3
We present the first results coming from the observation of Kepler's supernova remnant obtained with the EPIC instruments on board the XMM-Newton satellite. We focus on the images…
XMM-Newton observation of SNR RX J1713.7-3946
G. Cassam-Chenai, A. Decourchelle, J. Ballet +2
We present the first results of the observations of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 (also G347.3-0.5) obtained with the EPIC instrument on board the XMM-Newton satellite. We…
