4/25 Implications What particles are accelerated, protons or electrons? Electrons emit synchrotron X-rays very easily! Electron origin E 2 f(E) Energy π0π0 X-rayTeV Proton origin Synch IC If electrons, X-ray … synchrotron TeV … Inverse Compton of CMB Flux(TeV)/F(X) =U(CMB)/U(B) ~1 with a few micro Gauss Flux ratio (F(TeV)/F(X)) is a key to clarify the particles. TeV gamma-rays High-energy particles!

30/25 What is the dark accelerators? Old SNR? (Yamazaki et al. 2006) Electrons lost their energy by synchrotron cooling. Protons still keep energy due to small cooling rate. There should be more unID objects. (SN rate.. ~1SN/100yr ~100 unID objects?) GRB remnants or hyper-nova remnants? (Atoyan et al. 2006) GRB rate in our galaxy may be consistent with the number of unID objects. PWN? We need more information from radio to TeV gamma-rays Not clarified!
31/25 Summary Suzaku results: F(TeV)/F(X) is very large. –Suggesting proton accleration. X-ray: synchrotron from electrons. TeV : proton + proton π0 TeV gamma-rays Origin is not still clarified. –Old SNR? –GRB remnant? –PWN? –Other object?
