Abstract

The study of ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray sources by all methods, including mirror Cherenkov telescopes, concerns the problem of the nature of cosmic rays and the role of Galaxy in their generation. Spectral energy distributions and images of galactic shell-type supernova remnants GK Per (Nova 1901), Tycho, Cas A, γCygni SNR, and IC 443 being at different evolution stages are obtained by SHALON telescope observations at the Tien-Shan high-mountain observatory. Experimental data confirmed the theoretical prediction about the hadron mechanism of ultrahighenergy gamma-ray generation in Tycho, Cas A, and IC 443 supernova remnants.
