Electrostatic Potentials in Supernova Remnant Shocks
Recent advances in the understanding of the properties of supernova remnant shocks have been precipitated by the Chandra and XMM X-ray Observatories, and the HESS Atmospheric Čerenkov Telescope in the TeV band. A critical problem for this field is the understanding of the relative degree of dissipative heating/energization of electrons and ions in the shock layer. This impacts the interpretatio...
متن کاملClouds and Instabilities in Supernova Remnant Structure: Interstellar Turbulence and Rippled Shocks
The beautiful spherical blastwaves of theory are disrupted by interaction with density inhomogeneities and by thermal and dynamical instabilities. Various tricks, involving either Doppler shift velocities or model assumptions, make it possible to construct a 3-D picture of the structure from a 2-D image. This paper will discuss the expected nature of the density inhomogeneities and the conseque...

متن کاملSurfatron and stochastic acceleration of electrons at supernova remnant shocks.
The surfatron offers the possibility of particle acceleration to arbitrarily high energies, given a sufficiently large system. Surfatron acceleration of electrons by waves excited by ions reflected from supernova remnant (SNR) shocks is investigated using particle simulations. It is shown that surfatron and stochastic acceleration could provide a seed population for the acceleration of cosmic r...
متن کاملMixing Time Scales in a Supernova-Driven Interstellar Medium
We study the mixing of chemical species in the interstellar medium (ISM). Recent observations suggest that the distribution of species such as deuterium in the ISM may be far from homogeneous. This raises the question of how long it takes for inhomogeneities to be erased in the ISM, and how this depends on the length scale of the inhomogeneities. We added a tracer field to the three-dimensional...
