Synchrotron X-ray emission in young supernova remnants (SNRs) is a powerful diagnostic tool to study the population of high energy electrons accelerated at the shock front.
We performed a spatially resolved spectral analysis of the young Kepler's SNR, where we identify two different regimes of particle acceleration.
In the north, where the shock interacts with a dense circumstellar medium (CSM), we found a more efficient acceleration than in the south, where the shock velocity is higher and there are no signs of shock interaction with dense CSM.
We also studied the temporal evolution of the synchrotron flux, from 2006 to 2014.
A number of regions show a steady synchrotron flux and equal cooling and acceleration times.
However, we found some regions where we measured a significant decrease in flux from 2006 to 2014.
Our results display a coherent picture of the different regimes of electron acceleration observed in Kepler's SNR.
Also If I will have time during the seminar it will be nice to present also some preliminary results I will have in the SN 1987A project.
