Dynamics of radiative supernova remnants

A high-resolution numerical simulation is used to study the evolution of a SNR evolving in a homogeneous uniform medium. Emphasis is placed on the transition from the adiabatic stage to the radiative pressure-driven snowplow stage, along with the possible further establishment of a momentum-conservi...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A high-resolution numerical simulation is used to study the evolution of a SNR evolving in a homogeneous uniform medium. Emphasis is placed on the transition from the adiabatic stage to the radiative pressure-driven snowplow stage, along with the possible further establishment of a momentum-conserving snowplow state. In most cases the momentum-conserving snowplow is found to be delayed beyond the merger of the remnant with the interstellar medium. 39 references.
