Scientific paper

With only a few years' data, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has already provided a wealth of new GeV-detected Supernova Remnants (SNRs). Long held as suspects for galactic cosmic ray (CR) acceleration, emission up to 100 TeV implies that at least some of the SNRs can contribute to the galactic CR population. With well-resolved spectra and morphological studies, Fermi-LAT data allows us to better characterize the SNRs' particle populations and acceleration mechanisms, bringing us closer to quantifying their contribution to the observed galactic cosmic rays. Such clues may bring us substantially closer to solving the 100-year mystery of CR origins. We will review the SNRs detected thus far and discuss their properties, including as they relate to CR acceleration.
