MHD simulations of Supernova Remnants in a magnetized medium
Abstract
We have carried 3D MHD simulations of a supernova remnant expanding into an ISM, which has a magnetic field with a random component. From our numerical results, we have performed synthetic maps of the linearly polarized synchrotron emission. The idea is to analyze how the random t component of the ISM magnetic field affects the morphology of the linearly polarized emission, and thus have a better understanding of what mechanism of acceleration is actually taking place in the shock wave of the remnant.
