Jitter Radiation as an Alternative Mechanism for the Nonthermal X-Ray Emission of Cassiopeia A

Synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons is usually invoked as responsible for the nonthermal emission observed in supernova remnants. Diffusive shock acceleration is the most popular mechanism to explain the process of particles acceleration and within its framework a crucial role is playe...
