What Does SNR Stand For?

SNR stands for SuperNova Remnant Signal To Noise Ratio

SNR, or SuperNova Remnant Signal To Noise Ratio, is a quantitative measure used in astrophysics to assess the clarity and quality of astronomical signals received from supernova remnants. It compares the level of desired astronomical signals to the background noise, allowing researchers to determine the reliability and significance of the data collected. A higher SNR indicates a clearer and more distinguishable signal, which is critical for accurate analysis and interpretation of cosmic phenomena associated with supernova remnants.
