Written by a leading expert, this monograph presents recent
developments on supernova remnants, with the inclusion of results
from various satellites and ground-based instruments. The book
details the physics and evolution of supernova remnants, as well as
provides an up-to-date account of recent multiwavelength results.
Supernova remnants provide vital clues about the actual supernova
explosions from X-ray spectroscopy of the supernova material, or
from the imprints the progenitors had on the ambient medium
supernova remnants are interacting with - all of which the author
discusses in great detail. The way in which supernova remnants are
classified, is reviewed and explained early on. A chapter is
devoted to the related topic of pulsar wind nebulae, and neutron
stars associated with supernova remnants. The book also includes an
extended part on radiative processes, collisionless shock physics
and cosmic-ray acceleration, making this book applicable to a wide
variety of astronomical sub-disciplines. With its coverage of
fundamental physics and careful review of the state of the field,
the book serves as both textbook for advanced students and as
reference for researchers in the field.
