Abstract:Abstract. SNRs are commonly believed to be the accelerators of the galactic cosmic rays -mainly protonsand are expected to produce γ -rays through the inelastic proton-proton collisions. Fermi/LAT was expected to detect many of those, but only a dozen is listed in the recent Fermi/LAT 2nd Source catalogue. To test whether the observed number of SNRs is in agreement with the above assumption, we use a simplified model of an SNR and calculate the predicted amount of the observable remnants taking into account th… Show more
