The 2009 Fermi Symposium
Fermi-LAT Observations of Young Supernova Remnants
Stefan Funk, SLAC
Abstract:
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are generally thought to be responsible for the acceleration of Cosmic rays through Shock acceleration. In particular gamma-ray observations of young Supernova remnants can provide detailed insights into particle acceleration in shock waves. Here I will present results on Fermi-LAT observations of young supernova remnants which might help to distinguish between radiating particle populations in these objects.
