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…

Supernovae near the galactic center evolve differently from regular galactic supernovae. This is mainly due to the environment into which the supernova remnants propagate. Instead of a static, uniform density medium, SNRs near the galactic…
