Abstract

The remnant of the supernova of 1006 AD, the remnant first showing evidence for the presence of X-ray synchrotron emission from shock-accelerated electrons, was observed for similar to 1000 ks with INTEGRAL in order to study electron acceleration to very high energies. The aim of the observation was to characterize the synchrotron emission and attempt to detect nonthermal bremsstrahlung using the combination of IBIS and JEM-X spatial and spectral coverage. The source was detected with JEM-X between the 2.4 and 8.4 keV bands and was not detected with either ISGRI or SPI above 20 keV. The ISGRI upper limit is about a factor of 4 above current model predictions, but confirms the presence of steepening in the power law extrapolated from lower energies (
