Abstract
AbstractThe investigation of very high energy gamma‐ray sources touches on the problem of the cosmic ray origin and the role of the Galaxy in their generation. The SHALON observations have yielded the results on Cygni SNR Galactic supernova remnant. The observation results are presented with spectral energy distribution and emission map by SHALON in comparison with other experiment data obtained by ROSAT in x‐ray energy range, radio‐data by CGPS, and also observations of GeV–TeV gamma‐rays by Fermi LAT. The overall Cygni SNR characteristics detected in radio, x‐rays, and GeV–TeV gamma‐rays can be a result of the shocks at the interaction of the supernova ejecta and the surrounding medium. The collected experimental data help to make clear the origin of TeV ‐ray emission in the Cygni SNR. The density of target material in the SNR surroundings is enough to produce the observable TeV gamma‐ray flux via the shock acceleration of hadrons in the detected regions. The detection of gamma‐ray emission at 0.8–60 TeV from the North‐West and South‐East shells of Cygni SNR by SHALON would favor the hadronic origin of the gamma‐rays in this supernova remnant.
