  1. 359. Pulsar Wind Nebulae: what we think and hope to know.
    Dr Niccolo Bucciantini (NORDITA)

    Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) are among the best objects where high energy relativistic astrophysics, can be investigated. They are close, well resolved in our observation, and the knowledge derived in their study has a strong impact in many other fields, from AGNs to GRBs. They also behave as a probe of the interior of the surrounding SNR, and their dynamical evolution, can be used to...

  2. 328. The SN - SNR Connection: Young Galactic CCSN Remnants
    Prof. Robert Fesen (Dartmouth College)
    13/08/2011, 09:30
    Young and relatively nearby Galactic SNRs offer the possibility of relatively high-resolution investigations of SN ejecta and SNR/CSM interactions. I will present a brief overview of some recent X-ray, optical, and IR results on core-collapse SNRs. My talk will concentrate on work on some on young Galactic collapse SNRs, with an emphasis on the Cas A remnant which has been the focus of...

  3. 361. Balmer-Dominated Shocks: A 3D View
    Dr Kevin Heng (ETH Zurich, Institute for Astronomy)

    The young remnants of supernovae of thermonuclear origin are often surrounded by fast (~1000 km/s) shocks which are spatially coincident with strong hydrogen emission lines. Typically observed in H-alpha, these two-component lines are direct probes of the physical conditions in the pre- and post-shock gas. In this talk, I begin with a brief review of Balmer-dominated shocks. I will...
