INTERACTION OF SUPERNOVA REMNANTS WITH THE SURROUNDING STELLAR POPULATION

Abstract

In this paper, we study the interaction of the expanding supernova remnant (SNR) with the stars in the surrounding medium. We show that the regions of interactions of SNRs shock wave with O-B stars are energetically most important sources in the galaxy after the areas near relativistic objects; therefore it is natural to expect the observable in various wavebands consequences of such
interactions. In the case of low mass stars the interaction with SNRs may have impact on the origin of life and the habitability of such type stellar systems
