We report on spatially resolved X-ray spectroscopy of the north-eastern part of the mixed morphology supernova remnant (SNR) W28 with {\it XMM-Newton}. The observed field of view includes a prominent and twisted shell emission forming the…

The large-scale gradient of the interstellar medium (ISM) density distribution essentially affects the evolution of Supernova remnants (SNRs). In a non-uniform ISM, the shape of SNR becomes essentially non-spherical, and distributions of…

We report on observations of the Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G299.2$-$2.9 with the {\it Chandra X-Ray Observatory}. The high resolution images with {\it Chandra} resolve the X-ray-bright knots, shell, and diffuse emission extending…

Initially classified as a supernova (SN) type Ib, $\sim$ 100 days after the explosion SN\,2014C made a transition to a SN type II, presenting a gradual increase in the H${\alpha}$ emission. This has been interpreted as evidence of…
