PeVatron candidate SNR G106.3+2.7 in a low-density cavity: a multiwavelength test
MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY(2024)
摘要
In this paper, we constrain the density of the interstellar medium (ISM) around the hadronic PeVatron candidate, supernova remnant (SNR) G106.3+2.7, based on X-ray and gamma-ray observations. The purpose of this investigation is to understand the influence of the gaseous environment on this SNR as a proton PeVatron candidate. By modelling the self-regulated propagation of the cosmic rays (CRs) injected from the SNR, we calculate the gamma-ray emission of CRs via the hadronuclear interactions with the molecular cloud and the ISM, and use the measured gamma-ray flux to constrain the ISM density around the SNR. Our results support the picture that the SNR is expanding into a low-density (0.05 cm(-3)) cavity, enabling the SNR to be a potential proton PeVatron despite that it is presently not in the very early phase.
