“…The deep morphological and spectroscopic studies of SNRs are among the highest priority scientific goals of the forthcoming Cherenkov telescope Array (CTA) (Actis et al 2011;Acero et al 2017). Despite its great potential, CTA will be not able to resolve the gamma-ray emission from individual clumps.…”

Observations from the radio to the gamma-ray wavelengths indicate that supernova remnant (SNR) shocks are sites of effective particle acceleration. It has been proposed that the presence of dense clumps in the environment where supernovae explode might have a strong impact in shaping the hadronic gamma-ray spectrum. Here we present a detailed numerical study about the penetration of relativistic protons into clumps which are engulfed by a SNR shock, taking into account the magneto-hydrodynamical properties of the background plasma. We show that the spectrum of protons inside clumps is much harder than that in the diffuse interclump medium and we discuss the implications for the formation of the spectrum of hadronic gamma rays, which does not reflect anymore the acceleration spectrum of protons, resulting substantially modified inside the clumps due to propagation effects. For the Galactic SNR RX J1713.7-3946, we show that a hadronic scenario including dense clumps inside the remnant shell is able to reproduce the broadband gamma-ray spectrum from GeV to TeV energies. Moreover, we argue that small clumps crossed by the shock could provide a natural explanation to the non-thermal X-ray variability observed in some hot spots of RX J1713.7-3946. Finally we discuss the detectability of gamma-ray emission from clumps with the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array and the possible detection of the clumps themselves through molecular lines.

We present observations of fifty square degrees of the Mopra carbon monoxide (CO) survey of the Southern Galactic Plane, covering Galactic longitudes l = 300-350 • and latitudes |b| ≤ 0.5 • . These data have been taken at 0.6 arcminute spatial resolution and 0.1 km s −1 spectral resolution, providing an unprecedented view of the molecular clouds and gas of the Southern Galactic Plane in the 109-115 GHz J = 1-0 transitions of 12 CO, 13 CO, C 18 O and C 17 O.We present a series of velocity-integrated maps, spectra and position-velocity plots that illustrate Galactic arm structures and trace masses on the order of ∼10 6 M per square degree; and include a preliminary catalogue of C 18 O clumps located between l = 330-340 • . Together with information about the noise statistics of the survey these data can be retrieved from the Mopra CO website, the PASA data store and the Harvard Dataverse.

“…For leptonic models, considering the SNR age of 1000 yr, a magnetic field of 70 µG seems plausible for a cooling break corresponding to the observed one, while the simultaneous fit of X-ray and γ-ray data seems to hint at lower values. Surely, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will provide further insights [17].…”

The focus of this presentation is to go through some of the remarkable observations concerning gamma-ray cosmic accelerators and diffuse emissions. Additionally, I will cover the status of the new generation of gamma-ray groundbased observatories, CTA and LHAASO. To create this new generation of arrays, new technologies have been prepared concerning the photosensors and the optics. The recent start of multi-messenger astrophysical measurements indicates that there is a bright future to explore further the time domain of the universe with the current and in preparation instruments.
