Scientific paper

The authors present the results of 2-D axi-symmetric calculations of a supernova remnant (SNR) crossing a large scale density discontinuity. The X-ray and Hα appearance of the remnants at selected evolutionary times and viewing angles is calculated and presented in form of isophote maps. The numerical results are discussed in light and current optical, X-ray and radio observations of SNRs and general and the Cygnus loop in particular. The large scale structure and asymmetries of the Cygnus loop can be explained by a supernova remnant breaking out of a dense molecular cloud.
