Numerical modeling of radio emission from young supernova remnants
Abstract
dc:descriptionYoung supernova remnants such as Tycho, Kepler, and Cas A generally show a circular, clumpy shell near the outer boundary in both radio and X-ray emission. The magnetic field in the radio shell has been inferred to be in the range of $10\sp{-4}\sim10\sp{-3}G$ by the minimum energy requirements. The detailed polarization studies reveal that the magnetic field in the shell exhibits a cellular pattern with a net radial orientation. In this thesis, attempts are made to explain the mechanism for the origin of strong radio emission from young supernova remnants by modeling the interaction between the ejecta and the interstellar medium.
