Evidence for shock acceleration of high-energy electrons in the supernova remnant SN1006
Article Abstract:
A study on the shell of the supernova remnant (SNR) SN1006 provides the proof of cosmic ray emission by high energy electrons. The SNR produces high-energy electrons in the shock front. Energy of the electrons is about 100 TeV and ions present in the shell may acquire similar energies. The high energy electrons and ions produce high energy cosmic rays. The results of X-ray observations on SN1006, made from the ASCA satellite, are given.

Extremely fast acceleration of cosmic rays in a supernova remnant
Article Abstract:
The brightening and decay of X-ray hot spots are discovered in the shell of the supernova remnant (SNR) RXJ1713.7-3946 on a one-year timescale. Results provide a strong argument for acceleration of protons and nuclei to energies of 1 PeV and beyond in young supernova remnants.

Discovery of X-rays from the protostellar outflow object HH2
Article Abstract:
It has been possible to identify X-ray emission from HH2, one of the brightest and nearest Herbig-Haro objects. Further research must now be undertaken to establish whether the hot and quite tenuous X-ray plasma is located at the leading edge of the HH2H shock.
