1 SKA Meeting HI 21-cm Study of Supernova Remnants in SKA Era Bon-Chul Koo (SNU, KIAS)

2 Supernova Explosions SN explosions play a major role in the ecology and evolution of galaxies by supplying heavy elements, cosmic rays, and dust grains, and by dumping huge amount of energy/momentum to the ISM. Supernova Remnants (SNRs) are where we can observe and study those astrophysical phenomena. radio IR optical X-ray 2

4 Missing SNR Problem 294 SNRs in the Milky Way (Green 2014) Expected # of SNRs = SN rate lifetime ~ 1/40 yr 10 5 yrs ~ 2, (e.g.) Higdon & Lingenfelter 1980, 2005; Helfand+ 1989; Li, Z ; Green, D. 2004, 2015; Brogan+2006; Green, A Faint SNRs and small SNRs are difficult to detect. Most SNRs are missing! Bonn 11cm ( l = 26º ~ 56º, b = 5º +5º)

5 Galactic SNR Population from Green, D. Milne, D. Brogan et al. (2006): 35 new SNRs from 90 cm VLA survey Helfand et al. (2006): 12 SNR candidates from the MAGPIS Gerbrandt et al. (2013): 5 new SNRs in the DRAO survey Sabin et al. (2013): 4 new SNRs in the IPHAS survey Green, A. et al. (2014): 23 SNR candidates in the MGPS-2

10 HI SNRs can be identified if the line-of-sight velocities of their expanding shells are significantly beyond the maximum or minimum velocity permitted by the Galactic rotation. W44 HC40 HC40=G (Park, G ) (l,v) map from LD survey (Koo & Kang 2004)

22 Where are all the HI SNRs? Astrophysical Factors Most (~80%) of SNe are ccsn. Most (80-90%) of ccsne occur in superbubbles Most of the IS space may be filled with very tenuous (~ cm -3 ) hot gas. Expected # of visible HI SNRs (Koo & Kang 2004) N = SN ƒ HI ƒ obs ~ 200 (>>25) Most HI SNRs are missing!!! 512 x 512 x 2048 pc 3 (Kim+ 2013)

For E 0 = erg, d=8 kpc, R s =88 pc, t ~ yr Sigma-D relation R 100 pc FVW represents a type of oldest SNRs which are hardly visible except in HI 21cm emission line. G in LD survey Color: HI, contour: radio continuum (Koo et al. 2006)

25 FVWs in the I-GALFA Survey I-GALFA HI 21cm VGPS 1.4 GHz continuum map

26 Summary There are about 300 SNRs in the Milky Way, but most SNRs including young ones are missing. In a handful of SNRs, high-velocity, shocked HI gas has been detected. They are laboratories for studying shock physics, cloud structure, and stellar feedback. Old HI SNRs are largely missing. FVWs are candidates for such missing old HI SNRs. SKA and SKA precursor/pathfinder observations of the Milky Way and nearby galaxies can address some of the issues related to the above. 26
