Abstract
It has been shown (e.g. Woltjer, 1970) that many of the properties of a supernova remnant can be predicted from general considerations of the expansion of a massive gas cloud into the interstellar medium. However, this simple picture has been unable to explain the very powerful non-thermal radio emission from the young shell supernova remnants such as Cas A and 3C 10. In order to account for this it is necessary to invoke other mechanisms to produce magnetic field and relativistic particles.
