How old is G353.6-0.7? 1. An old SNR: a large angular size of 0.5 degree and a physical size of ~28 pc in diameter (assuming a distance of ~ 3.2 kpc); faint radio and X-rays. 2. Ambient density n0 ~5 cm-3, estimated by known flux (~1.2E-11 cm-2 s-1, assuming a conversion efficiency ~ 0.1 and explosion energy 10E51 ergs, Aharronian et al. 2006 ApJ, 636, 777), 3. An age of ~27,000 yr, based on a Sedov model (Cox 1972, ApJ,178, 159), it is entering a radiation phase. 4. It is not too old 100000 yrs, because the X-rays are visible in G353.6-0.7 and an old SNR is expected to emit few thermal X-rays from the high T gas heated by the fast-enough shock W41/HESS J1834-087 XMM-Newton observations show diffuse X-ray emission within the HESS source J1834-087--- this suggests an association between the X-ray and TeV gamma-ray emissions. High-resolution 13CO images reveal a giant molecular cloud (~ 78 km/s) at the center of W41--likely associated with W41. Probably, the first evidence that an old SNR encounters a GMC to produce TeV gamma-rays New results (Leahy Tian 2008, AJ): determining distances to the W41/cloud system support that such interaction is physical by analyzing HI and 13CO spectra. Radio Images of W41/molecular cloud: 1420 MHz continuum map 36x30 in size, F1420=60+/-8 Jy Alpha=0.43 (330 -1420 MHz) (Fv ~ v^(-alpha) 13CO map from Galactic Ring Survey: a GMC at the center of W41: MH2~10^5 M0 NH2 ~10^22 (cm^-2), no ~ 10^3 (cm^-3) XMM-NEWTON Observations of W41 An EPIC-pn intensity image in 0.3-1.5 keV. 15 point-like sources are detected also. Red circle represents HESS J1834-087; small green circle illustrates the region for x-ray spectrum. The central part of W41 in 1.5-7 keV. A region of enhanced intensity is clearly present coincident with the HESS source, apparently diffuse. Contours of 13CO emissions at 1.2, 1.4, 1.8 and 2.1k. W41/CO cloud physical interaction The maximum velocity of HI absorption:~78 km/s. No absorption at ~95 km/s. Two
