超新星遗迹Cas A和IC 443的VERITAS研究

VERITAS Studies of the Supernova Remnants Cas A and IC 443

Thomas Brian Humensky

摘要:

VERITAS在2007年观测了超新星遗迹仙后座A(Cas A)和IC 443,结果发现这两个来源都有强烈的TeV能量。Cas A是一个年轻的残骸,在射电和非热X射线中都很明亮,都是宇宙射线电子的示踪物。IC 443是一个与分子云相互作用的中年复合残骸;分子云为强子宇宙射线提供了更高密度的靶物质,通过π衰变产生TeV伽马射线。TeV形态-点样的Cas A和IC 443扩展-将讨论现有的多波长数据的残余物的背景下。

英文摘要:

VERITAS observed the supernova remnants Cassiopeia A (Cas A) and IC 443 during 2007, resulting in strong TeV detections of both sources. Cas A is a young remnant, and bright in both the radio and nonthermal X-rays, both tracers of cosmic-ray electrons. IC 443 is a middle-aged composite remnant interacting with a molecular cloud; the molecular cloud provides an enhanced density of target material for hadronic cosmic rays to produce TeV gamma rays via pion decay. The TeV morphology - point-like for Cas A and extended for IC 443 - will be discussed in the context of existing multiwavelength data on the remnants.
