Supernova Remnant Kes 17: Efficient Cosmic Ray Accelerator inside a Molecular Cloud
Joseph D. Gelfand, Daniel Castro, Patrick O. Slane +3
Supernova remnant Kes 17 (SNR G304.6+0.1) is one of a few but growing number of remnants detected across the electromagnetic spectrum. In this paper, we analyze recent radio, X-ray…
Chandra and XMM-Newton imaging and spectroscopic study of the supernova remnant Kes 73 hosting the magnetar 1E 1841-045
Harsha S. Kumar, Samar Safi-Harb, Patrick Slane +1
We present a Chandra and XMM-Newton study of the supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 73 hosting the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1841-045. The Chandra image reveals clumpy structures across t…
New Evidence for Efficient Collisionless Heating of Electrons at the Reverse Shock of a Young Supernova Remnant
Hiroya Yamaguchi, Kristoffer A. Eriksen, Carles Badenes +7
Although collisionless shocks are ubiquitous in astrophysics, certain key aspects of them are not well understood. In particular, the process known as collisionless electron heatin…
Identification of a Jet-Driven Supernova Remnant in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Possible Evidence for the Enhancement of Bipolar Explosions at Low Metallicity
Laura A. Lopez, Daniel Castro, Patrick O. Slane +2
Recent evidence has suggested that the supernova remnant (SNR) 0104-72.3 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) may be the result of a prompt Type Ia SN based on enhanced iron abundan…
Thermal X-ray Spectra of Supernova Remnants
Patrick Slane
The fast shocks that characterize supernova remnants heat circumstellar and ejecta material to extremely high temperatures, resulting in significant X-ray emission. The X-ray spect…
A Chandra View Of Nonthermal Emission In The Northwestern Region Of Supernova Remnant RCW 86: Particle Acceleration And Magnetic Fields
Daniel Castro, Laura A. Lopez, Patrick O. Slane +3
The shocks of supernova remnants (SNRs) are believed to accelerate particles to cosmic ray (CR) energies. The amplification of the magnetic field due to CRs propagating in the shoc…
