Abstract

We have discussed the many aspects of the physics and evolution of supernova remnants including discussions on how the properties of supernova remnants relate to the properties of supernova explosions (e.g. Chaps. 9 and 7). The material presented shows the many discoveries made and insights that have been obtained over the last two to three decades. This period corresponds to the coming of age of X-ray imaging spectroscopy—with Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Suzaku—high-energy (GeV) and very-high energy γ-ray astronomy—with the Fermi and AGILE satellite missions and with imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs; H.E.S.S., MAGIC, VERITAS)—and three major infrared mission Spitzer, Herschel, and AKARI. Our present knowledge of supernova remnants is based to a large extent on observations done with these observing facilities.

    The dispersion measure is defined as the column density of free electrons, \(DM\equiv \int n_{\mathrm {e}}dl\), which causes a frequency-dependent time delay in the arrival time of pulses.
