Description
Mixed-morphology supernova remnants (SNRs) are unique in that the exhibit X-ray and Gamma-ray properties, which are unexpected considering their advanced age. They tend to be rich in stellar ejecta, while they are some of the brightest gamma-ray remnants in our Galaxy. Currently, there has not been a consistent systematic study of the gamma-ray properties of these objects to understand why this population dominates the gamma-ray emitting SNR population. Here we present our results of the first systematic study of the gamma-ray and particle acceleration properties of these SNRs using ~13.5 years of Fermi-LAT data.
