Description
The detection of gamma-ray emission outside the shell of a supernova remnant (SNR) can be critical evidence for cosmic-ray acceleration in, and escape from, SNRs. In this contribution, we present an analysis of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) gamma-ray data towards middle-aged Galactic SNR W51C. We perform both a morphological and spectral analysis to search for evidence of gamma-ray emission outside the SNR shell. We also look for a spatial correlation between the observed gamma rays and surrounding molecular clouds.
