The first remnants detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope were of the type of mixed-morphology supernova remnants interacting with molecular clouds. In this paper we are presenting preliminary results of the gamma-ray analysis of 4 selected mixed morphology remnants, G359.1-0.5, G337.8-0.1, G001.0-0.1, and G346.6-0.2, as well as G349.7+0.2, in the 0.2 - 300 GeV energy range from the data collected by Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope for 3 years. G359.1-0.5, G337.8-0.1, and G349.7+ 0.2 were all detected with significances above 5 sigma. The excess distribution of G359.1-0.5 shows extended gamma-ray emission, which coincides with the TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1745-303. G337.8-0.1 also shows an extended nature.

Investigating the region of 3C 397 in High Energy Gamma rays Bhattacharjee, Pooja; Majumdar, Pratik; Ergin, Tülün; Saha, Lab; Joarder, Partha S. (2017-02-24) We investigate the supernova remnant (SNR) 3C 397 and its neighboring pulsar PSR J1906+0722 in high energy gamma rays by using nearly six years of archival data of Large Area Telescope on board Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope (Fermi-LAT). The off-pulse analysis of gamma-ray flux from the location of PSR J1906+0722 reveals an excess emission which is found to be very close to the radio location of 3C 397. Here, we present the preliminary results of this gamma-ray analysis of 3C 397 and PSR J1906+0722.
RECOMBINING PLASMA IN THE GAMMA-RAY-EMITTING MIXED-MORPHOLOGY SUPERNOVA REMNANT 3C 391 Ergin, Tülün; Sezer, A.; Saha, L.; Majumdar, P.; Chatterjee, A.; Bayirli, A.; Ercan, E. N. (2014-07-20) A group of middle-aged mixed-morphology (MM) supernova remnants (SNRs) interacting with molecular clouds (MCs) has been discovered to be strong GeV gamma-ray emitters by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope (Fermi-LAT). The recent observations of the Suzaku X-ray satellite have revealed that some of these interacting gamma-ray-emitting SNRs, such as IC443, W49B, W44, and G359.1-0.5, have overionized plasmas. 3C 391 (G31.9+ 0.0) is another GalacticMMSNR interacting with...
Search for TeV emission from the region around PSR B1706-44 with the HESS experiment Aharonian, F; et. al. (EDP Sciences, 2005-03-01) The region around PSR B1706 - 44 has been observed with the HESS imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes in 2003. No evidence for gamma-ray emission in the TeV range was found at the pulsar position or at the radio arc which corresponds to the supernova remnant G343.1 - 2.3. The 99% confidence level flux upper limit at the pulsar position is F-ul( E > 350 GeV) = 1.4 x 10(-12) s(-1) cm(-2) assuming a power law (dN/dE proportional to E-Gamma) with photon index of Gamma = 2.5 and F-ul( E > 500 GeV) = 1.3 x 10...
HESS observations of PKS 2155-304 Aharonian, F; et. al. (2005-02-01) The high-frequency peaked BL Lac PKS 2155-304 at redshift z=0.117 has been detected with high significance (similar to45sigma) at energies greater than 160 GeV, using the H.E.S.S. stereoscopic array of imaging air-Cherenkov telescopes in Namibia. A strong signal is found in each of the data sets corresponding to the dark periods of July and October, 2002, and June-September, 2003. The observed flux of VHE gamma rays shows variability on time scales of months, days, and hours. The monthly-averaged integral f...
Suzaku analysis of the supernova remnant G306.3-0.9 and the gamma-ray view of its neighbourhood Sezer, A.; Ergin, Tülün; Yamazaki, R. (2017-04-01) We present an investigation of the supernova remnant (SNR) G306.3-0.9, using archival multiwavelength data. The Suzaku spectra are well described by two-component thermal plasma models: the soft component is in ionization equilibrium and has a temperature similar to 0.59 keV, while the hard component has temperature similar to 3.2 keV and ionization time-scale similar to 2.6 x 10(10) cm(-3) s. We clearly detected Fe K-shell line at energy of similar to 6.5 keV from this remnant. The overabundances of Si, S,...
