The Supernova Remnant (SNR) IC 443 is an intermediate-age remnant well known for its radio, optical, X-ray and gamma-ray energy emissions. In this Letter we study the gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from IC 443 as obtained by the AGILE…

The idea that the shocks from supernova remnants (SNR) expanding into the interstellar medium (ISM) accelerate CR is still popular one but a number of authors have drawn attention to the fact that the experimental evidence for the presence…
Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) by relativistic shocks is thought to generate the $dN/dE\propto E^{-p}$ spectra of charged particles in various astronomical relativistic flows. We show that for test particles in one dimension (1D),…
