Problems of Supernova Remnants
Abstract
Supernovae (SN) and their remnants (SNR) have been extensively observed at radio, optical and X-ray wavelengths, but many aspects remain uncertain, ambiguous or controversial. The main motivation for being interested in the subject results from its connection to stellar evolution (progenitors of SN), to nucleogenesis (the contribution of SN to galactic abundances of the elements), to cosmic rays (acceleration of electrons and ions in or around SNR and their subsequent diffusion into the galaxy), to the energetics of the interstellar medium, to star formation and more speculatively to active galactic nuclei and galaxy formation.
