Abstract

A nonlinear model of cosmic-ray acceleration at the shock fronts in the supernova remnants W28, W44, and IC433 is investigated. The hydrodynamic evolution of a supernova remnant, including the shock modification by the pressure of accelerated particles and the streaming instability of particles upstream of the shock propagating in a partially ionized interstellar gas, is modeled. The electromagnetic radiation generated by accelerated particles is calculated and compared with observations in a wide range of photon energies.
