The explosion of a supernova releases almost instantaneously about 10^ 51 51 ergs of
mechanic energy, changing irreversibly the physical and chemical properties of large …

We review the observations of supernova remnants (SNRs) and pulsar-wind nebulae
(PWNe) that give information on the strength and orientation of magnetic fields. Radio …

Context. Over the past five decades, radio astronomy has shown that molecular complexity
is a natural outcome of interstellar chemistry, in particular in star forming regions. However …

Young supernova remnants strongly modify the surrounding magnetic fields, which in turn
play an essential role in accelerating cosmic rays (CRs). The X-ray polarization …

The origin of cosmic rays is a pivotal open issue of high-energy astrophysics. Supernova
remnants are strong candidates to be the Galactic factory of cosmic rays, their blast waves …

Core-collapse (CC) supernova remnants (SNRs) are the nebular leftovers of defunct
massive stars that died during a supernova explosion, mostly while undergoing the red …

Radio polarization observations provide essential information on the degree of order and
orientation of magnetic fields, which themselves play a key role in the particle acceleration …

Electron injection at high Mach number nonrelativistic perpendicular shocks is studied here
for parameters that are applicable to young SNR shocks. Using high-resolution large-scale …

After the death of a runaway massive star, its supernova shock wave interacts with the bow
shocks produced by its defunct progenitor, and may lose energy, momentum and its …

We explore electron preacceleration at high-Mach-number nonrelativistic perpendicular
shocks at, eg, young supernova remnants, which are a prerequisite of further acceleration to …
