摘要: The youngest Galactic supernova remnant G1.9+0.3 shows a discrete feature between its radio and X-ray morphologies. The observed radio morphology features a single maximum in the north, while the X-ray observation shows two opposite 'ears' on the east and west sides. Using 3D magneto hydrodynamical simulations, we investigate the formation of the discrete feature of the remnant. We have tested different parameters for better simulation and reproduced similar discrete features under an environment with density gradient and an environment with clump, which provides a possible explanation of the observation.

摘要: The study on the dynamic evolution of young supernova remnants (SNRs) is an important way to understand the density structure of the progenitor's circumstellar medium. We have reported the acceleration or deceleration, proper motion and brightness changes of 260 compact radio features in the second youngest known SNR Cas A at 5\,GHz based on the VLA data of five epochs from 1987 to 2004. The radio expansion center locates at $\alpha(1950)=23^{\rm h}21^{\rm m}9^{\rm s}_{\cdot}7 \pm 0^{\rm s}_{\cdot}29, \delta(1950)=+58^{\circ}32^{\prime}25^{\prime\prime}_{\cdot}2 \pm 2^{\prime\prime}_{\cdot}2$. Three-quarters of the compact knots are decelerating, this suggests that there are significant density fluctuations in the stellar winds of the remnant's progenitor. We have verified that the acceleration or deceleration of compact knots are not related with the distribution of brightness. The brightening, fading, disappearing or new appearing of compact radio features in Cas A suggests that the magnetic field in the remnant is changing rapidly.
