摘要：
A nonlinear kinetic theory of cosmic-ray (CR) acceleration in supernova remnants is employed to investigate the properties of the remnant SN 1987A. It is shown that a large downstream magnetic field mG is B-d approximate to 10 mG is required to fit the existing observational data. Such a strong field, together with the strong shock modification due to CR back-reaction, provides the steep and concave radioemission spectrum and considerable synchrotron cooling of high-energy electrons that diminish their X-ray synchrotron flux below the observed Chandra flux, which has to be considered as an upper limit for nonthermal X-ray emission. The expected gamma-ray energy flux at TeV energies at the current epoch is ergs (cm(2) s)(-1).
