The TeV Morphology of the Interacting Supernova Remnant IC 443
The middle-aged supernova remnant IC 443 is interacting with molecular gas in
its surroundings. -LAT has established that its gamma-ray emission at
low energies shows the "pion bump" that is characteristic of hadronic emission.
TeV emission was previously established by MAGIC and VERITAS at a site of
interaction between the shock front and a molecular cloud. VERITAS has
continued to observe IC 443 and can now resolve the emission on few-arcmin
scales. We will present results on the emission morphology and discuss possible
sources of the emission, including the shell of the remnant and other gaseous
structures in the vicinity.Comment: Submitted to Proceedings of the 34th International Cosmic Ray
