Applying models with reverse shocks to Galactic supernova remnants in the VGPS survey
Abstract
We apply SNR interior structure models to Galactic supernova remnants (SNR) in the VGPS survey to obtain properties of the Galactic SNR population. The models include the evolution of SNR interior structure for both forward and reverse shocks, and calculate forward and reverse shock X-ray emission measures at any time. By applying the models to SNRs with measure X-ray spectra, we obtain estimates of explosion energy, age and ejecta mass for a significant set of SNRs.
