Are the Supernova Remnants of the Large Magellanic Cloud in the Adiabatic Phase
Abstract
The catalog of LMC supernova remnants (SNRs) observed by Einstein in the 0.15 - 4.5 keV X-ray band is analyzed. It is shown that the X-ray surface brightness as a function of linear radius and the cumulative number-radius relation can be explained assuming that the SNRs in the LMC are in the adiabatic phase.
