With the ever faster cadence of untargeted surveys of the sky, the supernova (SN) community will capture in the coming years a growing number of shock breakouts in red-supergiant (RSG) stars. Expecting a high frequency of breakouts within…

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…

Supernova remnants (SNRs) carry vast amounts of mechanical and radiative energy that heavily influence the structural, dynamical, and chemical evolution of galaxies. To this day, more than 300 SNRs have been discovered in the Milky Way,…

Recent progress in the three-dimensional modeling of supernovae (SN) has shown the importance of asymmetries for the explosion. This calls for a reconsideration of the modeling of the subsequent phase, the supernova remnant (SNR), which has…

Some interacting supernovae (SNe) of type IIn show a sizeable continuum polarisation suggestive of a large scale asymmetry in the circumstellar medium (CSM) and/or the SN ejecta. Here, we extend the recent work of Dessart et al. on…

We model the size distribution of supernova remnants to infer the surrounding ISM density. Using simple, yet standard SNR evolution models, we find that the distribution of ambient densities is remarkably narrow; either the standard…

In this paper we apply and discuss a method for the determination of the magnetic field ($H$) evolution in supernova remnants (SNRs) from radio luminosity at given frequency $\nu$ to diameter ($L_\mathrm{\nu}-D$) correlation. We assumed…

Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) are believed to be accelerated at supernova remnant (SNR) shocks. In the hadronic scenario the TeV gamma-ray emission from SNRs originates from decaying pions that are produced in collisions of the interstellar…

A large number of supernova remnants (SNRs) in our Galaxy and galaxies nearby have been resolved in various radio bands. This radio emission is thought to be produced via synchrotron emission from electrons accelerated by the shock that the…
