Scientific paper

Recent work on supernova remnants (SNRs) is reviewed, emphasizing nonequilibrium processes in young SNRs, the effects of supernovae on the nature of the interstellar medium, and mechanisms for relativistic-particle acceleration. Several types of young SNR are distinguished, and shock-driven optical emission is discussed. Modification of SNR evolution by the interaction of the blast wave with the interstellar medium is examined. Particle-acceleration processes in shock waves and the existence of a hot interstellar gas are considered. Cooling and heating of hot interstellar gas by type I supernovae is investigated.
