  2. 1. Observations of young core collapse supernova remnants

    Author : Anestis Tziamtzis; Lundqvist Peter; Sergey Zharikov; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; supernova remnants; Crab; SN 1987A; Astronomy; Astronomi; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Abstract : Studies of young remnants offer an opportunity to test theoretical models of stellar evolution, explosion models and nucleosynthesis, as well as our understanding of the compact objects in the centre of the exploded stars.The first part of the thesis involves observations of the Crab nebula.

  4. 2. Supernova remnants and their pulsar wind nebulae

    Author : Natalia Lundqvist; Göran Olofsson; Robert Fesen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pulsars; supernovae; ISM; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Abstract : Massive stars die in powerful stellar explosions, so-called supernovae. In most cases, a neutron star or a black hole is expected to form in the center. The ejected material in these explosions expands out into the surroundings for tens of thousands of years, forming a supernova remnant. If a rapidly rotating neutron star, i. READ MORE

  5. 3. Interstellar absorption across the electromagnetic spectrum

    Author : Achim Tappe; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; interstellar medium ISM : general; supernova remnants Crab Nebula ; emission lines; — quasars: absorption lines;

    Abstract : We report results of a multi-wavelength study of interstellar absorption in diffuse molecular clouds that lie in the direction of flat-spectrum quasars. Quasars as back-ground sources allow the measurement of Galactic interstellar absorption across the electromagnetic spectrum from mm to X-ray wavelengths. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Pulsar and Nebula in SNR 0540-69.3

    Author : Linda Tenhu; Josefin Larsson; Göran Olofsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atomic; Subatomic and Astrophysics; Atomär fysik; subatomär fysik och astrofysik;

    Abstract : Supernova remnants (SNRs) are the end products of supernova (SN) explosions. These explosions happen when certain massive stars face the ends of their evolutionary cycle and create shock waves propagating in the surrounding medium by ejecting part of the star’s material. An SNR is the region defined by these powerful shocks. READ MORE
