A joint spectro-imaging analysis of the yvations of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946
Context. The supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946 (also known as G347.3-0.5) is part of the class of remnants dominated by synchrotron emission in X-rays. It is also one of the few shell-type SNRs observed at TeV energies allowing us to investigate particle acceleration at SNRs shock. Aims. Our g...
