Discovery prospects of dwarf spheroidal galaxies for indirect dark matter searches
Shin'ichiro Ando, Bradley J. Kavanagh, Oscar Macias +12
We study the prospects for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) to find new dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Milky Way. Adopting models of Milky-Way halo substructure and phe…
A Chandra X-ray study of the mixed-morphology supernova remnant 3C400.2
Sjors Broersen, Jacco Vink
We present an analysis of archival Chandra observations of the mixed-morphology remnant 3C400.2. We analysed spectra of different parts of the remnant to observe if the plasma prop…
On the electron-ion temperature ratio established by collisionless shocks
Jacco Vink, Sjors Broersen, Andrei Bykov +1
Astrophysical shocks are often collisionless shocks. An open question about collisionless shocks is whether electrons and ions each establish their own post-shock temperature, or w…
The many sides of RCW 86: a type Ia supernova remnant evolving in its progenitor's wind bubble
Sjors Broersen, Alexandros Chiotellis, Jacco Vink +1
We present the results of a detailed investigation of the Galactic supernova remnant RCW 86 using the XMM-Newton X-ray telescope. RCW 86 is the probable remnant of SN 185 A.D, a su…
The loss-limited electron energy in SN 1006: effects of the shock velocity and of the diffusion process
M. Miceli, F. Bocchino, A. Decourchelle +3
The spectral shape of the synchrotron X-ray emission from SN 1006 reveals the fundamental role played by radiative losses in shaping the high-energy tail of the electron spectrum.…
The shape of the cutoff in the synchrotron emission of SN 1006 observed with XMM-Newton
M. Miceli, F. Bocchino, A. Decourchelle +3
Synchrotron X-ray emission from the rims of young supernova remnants allows us to study the high-energy tail of the electrons accelerated at the shock front. The analysis of X-ray…
The northwestern ejecta knot in SN 1006
Sjors Broersen, Jacco Vink, Marco Miceli +3
Aims: We want to probe the physics of fast collision-less shocks in supernova remnants. In particular, we are interested in the non-equilibration of temperatures and particle accel…
XMM-Newton evidence of shocked ISM in SN 1006: indications of hadronic acceleration
M. Miceli, F. Bocchino, A. Decourchelle +5
Shock fronts in young supernova remnants are the best candidates for being sites of cosmic ray acceleration up to a few PeV, though conclusive experimental evidence is still lackin…
The high resolution X-ray spectrum of SNR 0506-68 using XMM-Newton
S. Broersen, J. Vink, J. Kaastra +1
Aims: We study the supernova remnant 0506-68 in order to obtain detailed information about, among other things, the ionisation state and age of the ionised plasma. Methods: Using t…
