Supernova shells and their birth events proceedings of a workshop, held at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, March 7 - 11, 1988

For A Better Understanding Of Supernova Explosions The Contributors To This Volume Provide Researchers And Graduate Students In Astrophysics With A Broad Spectrum Of Alternatives. The Confrontation Of Different Theories In One Volume Should Prompt Further Exploration Of The Driving Piston For The Explosions And Deeper Understanding Of The Experimental Data. Properties Of Supernova Shells Are Discussed, Such As Their Kinematics, Ages, Sizes, Temperatures, Spectra, Polarizations, Energetics And Morphologies. Special Attention Is Given To A Few Shells Of Extreme Age, Viz. G 70.68+1.20, Kepler's Sn, And Ctb 80, As Well As To Their Statistics. Contents: Supernova Shells, General -- Supernova Shells, Special Objects -- Supernova Explosions -- Supershells And High-energy Particles -- Epilogue -- Subject Index -- List Of Participants. Wolfgang Kundt, Ed. Includes Bibliographies And Index. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
