A Unique Method to Determine SNe Initial Explosion Energy

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2009-10-18 v2

Abstract

There are several different methods to determine the individual supernovae (SNe) initial explosion energy, here we derive the average or typical explosion energy of shell-type supernova remnants (SNRs) in a particular way. By solving a group of equations pertaining to shell-type SNRs at the same stage we obtained some physical parameters, e.g. the distance (dd), evolved age (tt), etc.. Assuming series of different SN initial explosion energies ranging from 104810^{48} ergs to 105310^{53} ergs, we derived series of distance and age parameters with which compared already known ones. Thus the most likely value of the SNe initial explosion energy is obtained when the deviation is least, which equals to about 105110^{51} ergs, in good agreement with the undertook value.
