GeV/TeV gamma-ray emission from dense molecular clouds overtaken by supernova shells.

AHARONIAN F.A., DRURY L.O'C. and VOELK H.J.

Abstract (from CDS):

The γ-radiation produced in regions of supernova remnants (SNRs), being in their Sedov phase, and overtaking dense molecular clouds, is expected to be sufficiently high for detection by current satellite and ground based instruments. The combined GeV/TeV observations of only a few of this type of objects, in particular from SNR G78.2+2.1, could provide the first direct evidence of the acceleration of the nuclear component of galactic cosmic rays in supernova shells.
