Supernova remnants are clouds in rapid expansion formed by supernova explosions. Typically, these remnants are very inhomogeneous. These inhomogeneity is the result of the interaction between the expanding remnant and the surrounding material, and, in particular when they are generated by core-collapse supernova explosions (which are the supernova triggered by the gravitational collapse of the cores of massive stars), also to anisotropies formed
What remains after a supernova explosion, which is among the most energetic phenomena in the Universe, is an expanding cloud interacting with the surrounding interstellar medium (the “supernova remnants”) and a compact object produced by the contraction of the nucleus of the progenitor star. Given its proximity to the Sun (“only” 945 light years), the Vela supernova remnant is one
