Scientific paper

Young supernova remnants are likely to be bright sources of energetic photons and neutrinos through the collision of particles accelerated inside the remnant. If >1039 erg s-1 in protons above 10 TeV is injected into the target region, TeV photons from SN 1987A could be observable with present detectors. Synchrotron X-rays and γ-rays up to 10 MeV generated by accelerated electrons, may well also be detectable. The authors discuss a pulsar model for acceleration of particles and find that it would produce observable signals if the spin period of the pulsar is ≤10 ms.
