Of the 30 or so Galactic magnetars, about 8 are in supernova remnants (SNRs). One of the most extreme magnetars, 1E 1841-045, is at the center of the SNR Kes 73 (G27.4+0.0), whose age is uncertain. We measure its expansion using three…

A complete overview of the supernova remnant (SNR) population is required to investigate their evolution and interaction with the surrounding interstellar medium in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Recent XMM-Newton observations of the SMC…

The environment of supernova remnants (SNRs) is a key factor in their evolution, particularly at later stages of their existence. It is often assumed that mixed-morphology (MM) SNRs evolve in very dense environments, and that their…
