We have carried out 1.25 pc resolution MHD simulations of the ISM, on a Cartesian grid of $0 \leq (x,y) \leq 1$ kpc size in the galactic plane and $-10 \leq z \leq 10$ kpc into the halo, thus being able to fully trace the time-dependent…
We apply correlation analysis to random fields in numerical simulations of the supernova-driven interstellar medium (ISM) with the magnetic field produced by dynamo action. We solve the thermo-magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations in a…
Composite supernova remnants consist of a pulsar wind nebula located inside a shell-type remnant. The presence of a shell has implications on the evolution of the nebula, although the converse is generally not true. The purpose of this…
