The Cherenkov Telescope Array potential for the study of young supernova remnants

摘要: Supernova remnants (SNRs) are among the most important targets for γ-ray observatories. Being prominent non-thermal sources, they very likely responsible acceleration of bulk Galactic cosmic rays (CRs). To firmly establish SNR paradigm origin rays, it should be confirmed that protons indeed accelerated in, and released from, SNRs with appropriate flux spectrum. This can done by detailed theoretical models which account microphysics various radiation processes hadrons leptons. The current generation Cherenkov telescopes has insufficient sensitivity to constrain models. A new facility, Telescope Array (CTA), will have superior capabilities may finally resolve this long standing issue high-energy astrophysics. We want assess CTA reveal physics types in initial 2000 years their evolution. During time, efficiency accelerate is highest. perform time-dependent simulations hydrodynamics, magnetic fields, cosmic-ray acceleration, emission type Ia, Ic IIP SNRs. calculate response from these ages distances, we a realistic analysis simulated data. derive distance limits detectability resolvability at several ages. test ability reconstruct morphological spectral parameters as function distance. Finally, estimate how well data
