Description
Shocks of stellar winds and supernova remnants (SNRs) can accelerate particles
to energies of 100 TeV or higher and are thus believed to be sources of
Galactic cosmic rays. Multi-frequency studies of SNRs and superbubbles from
radio to X-rays help to understand the propagation of shock waves and
their interaction with the ambient medium, while combining the study of
interstellar shocks with that of GeV to TeV sources will improve our knowledge
of the physics of interstellar shocks, the nature of the gamma-ray sources, and
the origin of Galactic cosmic rays. I will give an overview of the studies of
SNRs and superbubbles, present recent results, and discuss the implications for
their TeV emission.
