Some six years ago, we (Erlykin and Wolfendale, 1997) proposed the `single source model' in which a local, recent supernova remnant (SNR) was responsible for the `knee' in the cosmic ray (CR) energy spectrum at ~3PeV. Stimulated by the…
We present results from a study of optically emitting Supernova Remnants (SNRs) in six nearby galaxies (NGC 2403, NGC 3077, NGC 4214, NGC 4395, NGC 4449 and NGC 5204) based on deep narrow band H{\alpha} and [SII] images as well as…
When it comes to identifying or to characterizing gamma-ray sources, X-ray observations are of paramount importance. Correlated X-and-gamma-ray flux variations are a powerful identification tool, if the gamma-ray source is unidentified, or…
We examined the properties of a sample of BATSE Gamma--Ray Bursts (GRBs) comprising events which have indications of association with a supernova (SN), some on the basis of indications of re--brightening in the optical afterglow light…
The 3rd EGRET Catalog of High-energy Gamma-ray Sources contains 170 unidentified sources, and there is great interest in the nature of these sources. One means of determining source class is the study of flux variability on time scales of…
A significant fraction (~30%) of the high-energy gamma-ray sources listed in the second Fermi LAT catalog (2FGL) are still of unknown origin, being not yet associated with counterparts at low energies. We recently developed a new…
The recent discovery of a kilonova associated with an apparent long-duration gamma-ray burst has challenged the typical classification that long gamma-ray bursts originate from the core collapse of massive stars and short gamma-ray bursts…
Associating gamma-ray sources to their low-energy counterparts is one of the major challenges of modern gamma-ray astronomy. In the context of the Fourth Fermi Large Area Telescope Source Catalog (4FGL), the associations rely mainly on…
Recently the Galactic and Extra-galactic All-sky Murchison Widefield Array survey has published 27 new candidate radio supernova remnants (SNRs) which are located within the longitude ranges of 345{\deg} < l < 60{\deg} and 180{\deg} < l <…
A new extended gamma-ray source, which was named as Source A, in the southwest of Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G306.3$-$0.9 was detected with a significance of $\sim$13$\sigma$ at the location of R.A. (J2000) = 13$^{\rm{h}}$…
We report the discovery of high-energy $\gamma$-ray emission in the vicinity of G213.0-0.6, which is debated as a supernova remnant (SNR) or an ionized hydrogen (H$_{\rm{II}}$) region. Using 16-yr Pass 8 data from Fermi Large Area Telescope…
The connection between long GRBs and supernovae is now well established. I briefly review the evidence in favor of this connection and summarise where we are observationally. I also use a few events to exemplify what should be done and what…
Spatial template is important to study the nearby supernova remnant (SNR). For SNR G332.5-5.6, we report a gaussian disk with radius of about 1.06 degrees to be a potential good spatial model in the gamma-ray band. Employing this new…
The luminosities of short gamma ray burst host galaxies are anticorrelated with both the isotropic equivalent gamma ray energy and the gamma ray luminosity of the explosions. Observational selection effects only strengthen the significance…
In this talk I will first give a summary of the observations of expected Galactic TeV gamma-ray sources with the HEGRA CT-Sytem since the Kruger Park Workshop in 1997. Then I will go into some detail regarding the observations of Supernova…
The supernova remnant (SNR) complex CTB 37 is an interesting candidate for observations with Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray telescopes such as H.E.S.S. In this region, three SNRs are seen. One of them is potentially associated with…
We study the origin of gamma rays from the supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946. Using an analytical model, we calculate the distribution of cosmic rays (CRs) around the SNRs. Motivated by the results of previous studies, we assume that…
We present a systematic search for spatial association between a high confidence sample of 3,166 morphologically selected galaxy mergers drawn from the initial convolutional neural network (CNN) catalog of 328,151 candidate mergers and…
We examine the hypothesis that some supernova remnants (SNRs) may be responsible for some unidentified gamma-ray sources detected by EGRET instrument aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. If this is the case, gamma-rays are produced via…
I consider the state of play regarding associations of supernova remnants (SNRs) with anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs). The three AXP/SNR associations are convincing, and are consistent with AXPs being…
