Abstract

Relations between radio surface brightness (\(\Sigma \)) and diameter (D) of supernova remnants (SNRs) are important in astronomy. In this paper, following the work Duric and Seaquist (ApJ 301:308, 1986) at adiabatic phase, we carefully investigate shell-type supernova remnants at radiative phase, and obtain theoretical \(\Sigma \)-D relation at radiative phase of shell-type supernova remnants at 1 GHz. By using these theoretical \(\Sigma \)-D relations at adiabatic phase and radiative phase, we also roughly determine phases of some supernova remnant from observation data.
