The images of supernova remnants(SNRs) with unusual morphology are
presented. Some of them are unique, e. g., the semicircular shell of
CTB109 and a string of infrared knots around SS433. The others are
rather representational, e. g., the morphology of center-brightened
but without central compact point source and that of the double lobes
and bipolar in radio and so on. A series theoretical models for the
unusual morphology of SNRs are suggested by us and are listed here. It
can be seen from our models that the fundamental reasons of unusual
morphology of SNRs are the diversification of the interstellar medium,
circumstellar medium around their supernovae and the nature or
activity of their progenitors. Besides, the great achievement of
Chandra (the newest X-ray satillite launched by NASA) is introduced .
The images of several famous SNRs obtained from Chandra are presented,
and simple explanation of them is given. |
