摘要:

费米卫星上的大面积望远镜(LAT)最近的观测揭示了银河系内中年超新星遗迹(SNRs)的明亮伽马射线发射。这些残留物也拥有明亮的非热射电壳层,经常被发现与周围的气体云直接相互作用。我们通过构建一个流体动力学模型来探索这些动态演变的SNR的非热发射机制。两种情况下的粒子加速,无论是银河系宇宙射线(CR)的再加速或有效的非线性扩散冲击加速(NLDSA)的粒子注入从下游,被认为是。使用从观测中推断的参数,我们的模型与观测到的SNR W44的光谱进行了对比。对于再加速的情况下,我们预测的无线电和GeV的发射的SNR经历了一个过渡到辐射阶段的显着增强。如果足够强的磁湍流存在于分子云中,再加速的情况下,可以解释所观察到的宽带光谱特性。NLDSA方案也成功地解释了$γ$射线谱,但未能重现无线电频谱指数。高效的NLDSA还导致显著的冲击后非热压力,其限制冷却期间的压缩并防止形成突出的致密壳。两个模型之间的流体动力学行为和由此产生的光谱特征的一些其他有趣的差异进行了说明。

英文摘要:

Recent observations by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi satellite have revealed bright gamma-ray emission from middle-aged supernova remnants (SNRs) inside our Galaxy. These remnants, which also possess bright non-thermal radio shells, are often found to be interacting directly with surrounding gas clouds. We explore the non-thermal emission mechanism at these dynamically evolved SNRs by constructing a hydrodynamical model. Two scenarios of particle acceleration, either a re-acceleration of Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) or an efficient nonlinear diffusive shock acceleration (NLDSA) of particles injected from downstream, are considered. Using parameters inferred from observations, our models are contrasted with the observed spectra of SNR W44. For the re-acceleration case, we predict a significant enhancement of radio and GeV emission as the SNR undergoes a transition into the radiative phase. If sufficiently strong magnetic turbulence is present in the molecular cloud, the re-acceleration scenario can explain the observed broadband spectral properties. The NLDSA scenario also succeeds in explaining the $γ$-ray spectrum but fails to reproduce the radio spectral index. Efficient NLDSA also results in a significant post-shock non-thermal pressure that limits the compression during cooling and prevents the formation of a prominent dense shell. Some other interesting differences between the two models in hydrodynamical behavior and resulting spectral features are illustrated.
