摘要:

超新星遗迹SN 1006是一个强大的高能粒子源,并在相对稀薄和均匀的环境中演化,尽管与西北边缘的原子云相互作用。SN 1006的X射线图像显示在冲击波阵面的西南部有一个凹陷,HI图显示一个孤立的云(西南云),其速度与西北云相同,其形态完全符合凹陷。我们进行了空间分辨光谱分析的一组小区域在西南非热翼,并研究了XMM-牛顿SN 1006大型计划内获得的深X射线光谱。我们还分析了档案HI数据,获得了单碟和干涉观测相结合。我们发现,在西南云区,由X射线谱得到的最佳拟合N_H值显著增加,而同步辐射的截止能量降低。N_H的变化量与由射电资料测得的西南云HI柱密度完全一致。在缺口处截止能量的减少清楚地表明,云的背面实际上是与残余物相互作用的。因此,西南翼呈现出有效粒子加速和高环境密度的独特组合,因此是SN 1006中最有希望的伽马射线强子发射区域。我们估计,这种辐射将在几年内被费米望远镜探测到。

英文摘要:

The supernova remnant SN 1006 is a powerful source of high-energy particles and evolves in a relatively tenuous and uniform environment, though interacting with an atomic cloud in its northwestern limb. The X-ray image of SN 1006 reveals an indentation in the southwestern part of the shock front and the HI maps show an isolated cloud (southwestern cloud) having the same velocity as the northwestern cloud and whose morphology fits perfectly in the indentation. We performed spatially resolved spectral analysis of a set of small regions in the southwestern nonthermal limb and studied the deep X-ray spectra obtained within the XMM-Newton SN 1006 Large Program. We also analyzed archive HI data, obtained combining single dish and interferometric observations. We found that the best-fit value of the N_H derived from the X-ray spectra significantly increases in regions corresponding to the southwestern cloud, while the cutoff energy of the synchrotron emission decreases. The amount of the N_H variations corresponds perfectly with the HI column density of the southwestern cloud, as measured from the radio data. The decrease in the cutoff energy at the indentation clearly reveals that the back side of the cloud is actually interacting with the remnant. The southwestern limb therefore presents a unique combination of efficient particle acceleration and high ambient density, thus being the most promising region for gamma-ray hadronic emission in SN 1006. We estimate that such emission will be detectable with the Fermi telescope within a few years.
