Theory of cosmic ray and <i>γ</i>-ray production in the supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622
<i>Aims. <i/>The properties of the Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) RX J0852.0-4622 are theoretically analysed.<i>Methods. <i/>An explicitly time-dependent, nonlinear kinetic model of cosmic ray (CR) acceleration in SNRs is used to describe the properties of SNR RX J0852.0-4622, the accelerated CRs, and the nonthermal emission. The source is assumed to be …
