What Does SNR Stand For?
SNR stands for Supernova Remnant
SNR, or Supernova Remnant, refers to the structure resulting from the explosion of a star in a supernova event. This remnant consists of the ejected material from the star and the surrounding interstellar medium that has been heated and compressed by the explosion. SNRs play a crucial role in the chemical enrichment of galaxies and the dynamics of the interstellar medium, as they distribute heavy elements and influence star formation in their vicinity. They are key objects of study in astrophysics for understanding stellar evolution and the life cycles of stars.
