Supernova remnants (SNRs) are widely believed to be the principal source of galactic cosmic rays. Such energetic particles can produce gamma-rays and lower energy photons via interactions with the ambient plasma. In this paper, we present…

The supernova remnant G15.4+0.1 is considered to be the possible counterpart of the gamma-ray source HESSJ1818-154. With the goal of getting a complete view of this remnant and understanding the nature of the gamma-ray flux, we conducted a…

Recent ASCA observations of G347.3-0.5, an SNR discovered in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey, reveal nonthermal emission from a region along the northwestern shell (Koyama et al. 1997). Here we report on new pointed ASCA observations of G347.3-.5…

Supernova remnants (SNRs) are believed to be capable of accelerating cosmic rays (CRs) to PeV energies. SNR G106.3+2.7 is a prime PeVatron candidate. It is formed by a head region, where the pulsar J2229+6114 and its boomerang-shaped pulsar…

A number of modern experiments in high-energy astrophysics produce images of supernova remnants (SNRs) in the TeV and GeV gamma-rays. Either relativistic electrons (due to the inverse-Compton scattering) or protons (due to the pion decays)…
