Effects of thermal conduction on the X-ray and synchrotron emission from supernova remnants

Several physical mechanisms have been studied in order to explain why composite supernova remnants (SNRs) have shell-like morphologies in the radio continuum while their X-ray emission is centrally peaked. One of the proposed mechanisms has been the presence of thermal conduction, which can raise th...
