Hadronic $\gamma$-ray sources associated with supernova remnants (SNRs) can serve as stopwatches for the escape of cosmic rays from SNRs, which gradually develops from highest-energy particles to lowest-energy particles with time. In this…

Observations of the supernova remnant G22.7-0.2 in the field of view of W41 with the H.E.S.S. telescope array have resulted in evidence for a very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the direction of the object. The emission region is…

The supernova remnant (SNR) HESS J1731-347 is a young SNR which displays a non-thermal X-ray and TeV shell structure. A molecular cloud at a distance of 3.2 kpc is spatially coincident with the western part of the SNR, and it is likely hit…
