Supernova remnants: the X-ray perspective

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2011
Supernova remnants are beautiful astronomical objects that are also of high scientific interest, because they provide insights into supernova explosion mechanisms, and because they are the likely sources of Galactic cosmic rays. X-ray observations are an

Observational Signatures of Particle Acceleration in Supernova Remnants

open access: yesSpace Science Reviews, 2012
We evaluate the current status of supernova remnants as the sources of Galactic cosmic rays. We summarize observations of supernova remnants, covering the whole electromagnetic spectrum and describe what these observations tell us about the acceleration ...

Mixing of materials in magnetized core-collapse supernova remnants

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023
Core-collapse supernova remnants are structures of the interstellar medium (ISM) left behind the explosive death of most massive stars (⁠≲40M⊙⁠). Since they result in the expansion of the supernova shock wave into the gaseous environment shaped by the ...

Abundances in supernova remnants

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1984
This paper outlines the abundances one may expect to observe as the result of an explosion of the evolved star that is the progenitor of a supernova. (AIP)

Galactic supernova remnants

Space Science Reviews, 1985
A progress report is given on our current interpretation of the X-ray emission from supernova remnants. Previous results from earlier experiments, the Einstein Observatory in particular, are reviewed and supplemented by the most recent data from the Exosat mission for a selection of remnants (Puppis-A, Cas-A, SN 1006, RCW103, W49B).

Supernovae and supernova remnants

2001
A supernova explosion is among the most dramatic events that can be seen. The term ‘supernova’ is somewhat misleading, as such an event represents not a new star (that is, a ‘nova’), but instead the end of a star’s life. Nuclear fusion, the energy source of the stars, creates heavier elements from lighter elements.

Supernovae and Supernova Remnants

1983
Supernovae are the result of explosions which terminate the life of massive stars. The amount of energy released by the supernovae in our galaxy is so large that these explosions provide the dominant energy for the heating of the hot (T ≳ 106 K) IS component and for the kinetic energy of the large scale motions of the interstellar clouds.

Supernovae and Their Remnants

1987
Supernovae (SNe) and supernova remnants (SNRs) represent an important area of research in astrophysics because they are central to our understanding of such diverse fields as the late stages of stellar evolution, mass loss from late-type stars, nucleosynthesis, and interstellar medium processes and abundances. In addition, they provide a laboratory for

Evolution of Supernova Remnants. I. Interacting Supernova Remnants

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 1978
Abstract The evolution and structure of two interacting supernova remnants (SNRs) are calculated by use of a time-dependent two-dimensional hydrodynamic code. The interactions of two SNRs are simulated in such a way that at a time t0 after the first supernova explosion, the second supernova explosion occurs at the distance D and two SNRs
