Abstract
Supernova remnants (SNRs) play a key role in astrophysics. Young SNRs inject the nucleosynthesis products of supernova explosions into the interstellar medium (ISM). SNRs are thought to produce most of the cosmic rays and the nonthermal radio emission in the Galaxy (Blandford 1982). They are also one of the major energy sources for the medium and thereby affect its structure and ultimately the star formation process which leads to supernovae.
