Supernova remnants (SNRs) offer the means to study SN explosions, dynamics, and shocks at sub-parsec scales. X-ray observations probe the hot metals synthesized in the explosion and the TeV electrons accelerated by the shocks, and thus they…
Using a combination of ground-based and HST imaging, we have constructed a catalog of 179 supernova remnants (SNRs) and SNR candidates in the nearby spiral galaxy M51. Follow-up spectroscopy of 66 of the candidates confirms 61 of these as…
We present the detection of 16 optical supernova remnant (SNR) candidates in the nearby spiral galaxy IC342. The candidates were detected by applying [SII]/H$\alpha$ ratio criterion on observations made with the 2 m RCC telescope at Rozhen…
We present two supernovae (SNe) discovered with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS), an HST multi-cycle treasury program. We classify both objects as Type Ia SNe…
In this paper we present the most up-to-date list of nearby galaxies with optically detected supernova remnants (SNRs). We discuss the contribution of the H{\alpha} flux from the SNRs to the total H{\alpha} flux and its influence on derived…
We present a 3-dimensional model of supernova remnants (SNRs) where the hydrodynamical evolution of the remnant is modeled consistently with nonlinear diffusive shock acceleration occuring at the outer blast wave. The model includes…

The supernova remnant (SNR) IC 443 is one of the best-studied Galactic SNRs at many wavelengths. It is interacting with a very complex environment, including the SNR G189.6+3.3 and HII regions. In this paper, we observed IC 443 and…
[Abridged] We investigate the use of a wide variety of spectroscopic measurements to determine distances to low-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia). We consider linear models for predicting distances to SN Ia using light-curve width and…
Recent high-resolution infrared space missions have revealed supernova remnants (SNRs) of diverse morphology in infrared (IR) dust emission that is often very different from their X-ray appearance. The observed range of infrared-to-X-ray…
Accurate distances to supernova remnants (SNRs) are crucial in determining their size, age, luminosity and evolutionary state. To determine distances, we chose three SNRs from the VLA Galactic Plane Survey (VGPS) for extraction of HI…

Observations of Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) are crucial to understanding supernova explosion mechanisms and their impact on our Galaxy's evolution. SNRs are usually identified by searching for extended, circular structures in all-sky…
Supernova remnants (SNRs) retain crucial information about both their parent explosion and circumstellar material left behind by their progenitor. However, the complexity of the interaction between supernova ejecta and ambient medium often…
The X-ray emission from a supernova remnant (SNR) is a powerful diagnostic of the state of the shocked plasma. The temperature (kT) and the emission measure (EM) of the shocked-gas are related to the energy of the explosion, the age of the…
We have studied the shock-excited molecular regions associated with four supernova remnants (SNRs) - IC443C, W28, W44 and 3C391 - and two Herbig-Haro objects, HH7 and HH54, using Spitzer's Infrared Spectrograph (IRS). The physical…

Type IIP and type IIL supernovae (SNe) are defined on their light curves, but the spectrum criteria in distinguishing these two type SNe remains unclear. We propose a new classification method. Firstly, we subtract the principal components…
This paper aims to give a brief review of a new concept for the preliminary determination of the evolutionary status of supernova remnants (SNRs). Data obtained by radio observations in continuum are used. There are three different methods…
