The supernova remnant SN 1006 as a Galactic particle accelerator [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 It is known that cosmic rays could be accelerated by shock waves in supernova (SN) remnants. Here, the authors show that SN 1006 remnant is an efficient source of cosmic rays, providing observational support for the quasi-parallel acceleration mechanism.

Multifrequency radio observations of a SNR in the LMC: The case of SNR J0527-6549 (DEM l204) [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2010 We present a detailed study and results of new Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations of supernova remnant SNR J0527-6549. This Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) object follows a typical supernova remnant (SNR) horseshoe morphology ...

Particle propagation in clumpy supernova remnants [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 The presence of dense clumps in the environment where a supernova remnant expands might have a strong impact in shaping the observed hadronic gamma-ray spectrum.

How Tycho Brahe’s recordings in 1572 support SN 1572 as a type I(a) supernova
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 The 450th anniversary of the discovery of the SN 1572 supernova event was celebrated in 2022. A closer look at the historical development of the field of supernova astronomy reveals the scientific importance of Tycho Brahe’s 1572 observations of this ...

A new numerical code for hydrodynamical 3D simulations of supernova remnants [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2019 We develop a 3D hydrodynamical code written in C programming language to study the expansion of supernova remnants (SNRs) in the surrounding medium. It is based on the MUSCL-Hancock finite volume scheme with the HLLC Riemann solver.

Radio-continuum observations of small, radially polarised Supernova Remnant J0519-6902 in the large Magellanic cloud [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2012 We report on new Australian Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations of SNR J0519-6902. The Supernova Remnant (SNR) is small in size (~8 pc) and exhibits a typical SNR spectrum with α = -0.53±0.07, with steeper spectral indices towards the ...
