The explosion of a supernovae (SN) represents the sudden injection of about 10^51 ergs of thermal and mechanical energy in a small region of space, causing the formation of powerful shock waves that propagate through the interstellar medium…
Context: Cosmic rays are thought to be accelerated at supernova remnant (SNR) shocks, but conclusive evidence is lacking. Aims: New data from ground-based gamma-ray telescopes and the Large Area Telescope on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space…
Using observations from the literature, we show that the non-thermal radio luminosity (L) of supernova remnants (SNRs) is a strong function of the average gas surface density (Sigma) of the galaxy in which the remnants reside, from normal…
The X-ray synchrotron emission of each of the young supernova-remnants (SNRs) SN1006, Kepler, Tycho, RCW86 and Cas A, is roughly given by $\nu L_{\nu}\sim 10^{45}\rm{erg}/t$, where $t$ is the remnant's age. The electrons emitting the X-ray…
Supernova explosions and their remnants (SNRs) drive important feedback mechanisms that impact considerably the galaxies that host them. Then, the knowledge of the SNRs evolution is of paramount importance in the understanding of the…
Although only a small fraction of stars end their lives as supernovae, all supernovae leave behind a supernova remnant (SNR), an expanding shock wave that interacts with the surrounding medium, heating the gas and seeding the cosmos with…
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are the outcome of supernovae (SNe, either core-collapse or thermonuclear). The remnant results from the interaction between the stellar ejecta and the ambient medium around the progenitor star. Young SNRs are…
Supernova remnants (SNRs) contribute to regulate the star formation efficiency and evolution of galaxies. As they expand into the interstellar medium (ISM), they transfer vast amounts of energy and momentum that displace, compress and heat…
Supernovae (SNe) are generally classified into Type I and Type II. Most SNe (~ 80%), including all the subtypes of Type II, and Type Ib/c, arise from the core-collapse of massive stars. During their lifetime, mass-loss from these stars…
We calculate synchrotron radio emission and gamma-ray emission due to bremsstrahlung, inverse-Compton scattering and $pi^0$-decay from the remnant of supernova which exploded in the circumstellar matter (CSM) formed by the progenitor's…
The radio evolution of, so far the youngest known, Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G1.9+0.3 is investigated by using three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic modelling and non-linear kinetic theory of cosmic ray (CR) acceleration in SNRs. We…
Supernovae remnants (SNRs) represent a major feedback source from stars on the interstellar medium of galaxies. During the latest stage of supernovae explosions, shock waves produced by the initial blast modify the chemistry of gas and…
We present the first dedicated X-ray study of the supernova remnant (SNR) G32.8-0.1 (Kes 78) with Suzaku. X-ray emission from the whole SNR shell has been detected for the first time. The X-ray morphology is well correlated with the…
Young supernova remnants (SNRs) shocks are believed to be the main sites of galactic cosmic rays production, showing X-ray synchrotron dominated spectra in the vicinity of their shock. While a faint thermal signature left by the shocked…
The dust temperature and mass of the supernova remnants (SNRs) in M31 are estimated by fitting the infrared spectral energy distribution calculated from the images in the Spitzer/IRAC4 and MIPS24, Herschel/PACS70, 100, 160, and…
Supernovae (SNe) inject $\sim 10^{51}$ erg in the interstellar medium, thereby shocking and heating the gas. A substantial fraction of this energy is later lost via radiative cooling. We present a post-processing module for the FLASH code…
We have carried out high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopic observations toward 16 Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) showing strong H$_{2}$ emission features. A dozen bright H$_{2}$ emission lines are clearly detected for individual…
The temperatures of the plasma in the supernova remnants (SNRs) are initially very low just after the shock heating. The electron temperature (kT_{e}) increases quickly by Coulomb interaction, and then the energetic electrons gradually…
The physical nature of thermal composite supernova remnants (SNRs) remains controversial. We have revisited the archival XMM-Newton and Chandra data of the thermal composite SNR Kesteven 41 (Kes 41 or G337.8-0.1) and performed a millimeter…
Published X-ray emission properties for a sample of 50 supernova remnants (SNRs) in the LMC are used as input for SNR evolution modelling calculations. The forward shock emission is modelled to obtain the initial explosion energy, age, and…
