Radio Observations and Modeling of Supernova Remnants

当超新星喷出的物质膨胀到周围的星际介质中，压缩它，并与它混合时，就会产生超新星残留物。这种膨胀和混合是异常复杂的。首席研究员建议对附近的超新星遗迹进行观测和绘制地图，并对它们进行计算建模。其目的是增加我们对它们中发生的物理过程的理解，特别是找出在它们中如何以及在哪里发生同步射电发射，以及这种发射如何随时间变化。

Supernova remnants result when the ejecta of a supernova expands into the ambient interstellar medium, compresses it, and mixes with it. This expansion and mixing are extraordi.narily complex. The Principal Investigator proposes to observe and map nearby supernova remnants and to model them computa.tionally. The goal is to increase our understanding of the physical processes taking place in them, in particular to find out how and where synchrotron radio emission takes place in them and how this emission varies with time.
