Cosmic-ray acceleration at the forward shock in Tycho's supernova remnant: Evidence from Chandra X-ray observations

We present evidence for cosmic-ray acceleration at the forward shock in Tycho's supernova remnant (SNR) from three X-ray observables: (1) the proximity of the contact discontinuity to the forward shock, or blast wave, (2) the morphology of the emission from the rim of Tycho, and (3) the spectra...
