Shock-Cloud Interaction in RX J1713.7-3946

Více o knize

Focusing on the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946, the study explores the origins of cosmic rays in our galaxy through X-ray and gamma radiation from cosmic ray particles. Utilizing data from the NANTEN2 radio telescope, it reveals a strong correlation between gamma rays and interstellar gas, providing evidence for the acceleration of cosmic ray protons. The author highlights the significance of "shock-cloud interaction" between supernova shockwaves and interstellar gas in enhancing cosmic ray electron acceleration, offering new insights into high-energy radiation and cosmic ray behavior.
