Radio emission from supernova remnants
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of radio supernova remnants is presented, focusing on sources of the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds, where the SNRs can be spatially resolved.

TL;DR: In this article, deep X-ray observations of the remnant of Tycho's supernova (SN 1572) reveal a previously unknown, strikingly ordered pattern of non-thermal high-emissivity stripes in the projected interior of the supernova remnant, with spacing that corresponds to the gyroradii of 10^14 - 10^15 eV protons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Escape-limited model of cosmic-ray acceleration revisited
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the spectrum of runaway cosmic rays from the acceleration site and the ansatz with respect to the unknown injection process into the particle acceleration, and applied their model to CR acceleration in young supernova remnants (SNRs) and in active galactic nuclei (AGN).

Connecting Far-Infrared and Radio Morphologies of Disk Galaxies: Cosmic-Ray Electron Diffusion After Star Formation Episodes
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of Spitzer far-infrared and Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope radio continuum imagery was performed to compare the appearance of radio and infrared images.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonthermal bremsstrahlung and hard x-ray emission from clusters of galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, non-thermal bremsstrahlung (NTB) models for the hard X-ray (HXR) tails recently observed by BeppoSAX in clusters of galaxies were compared to the observed HXR tails in Coma and Abell 2199.
