13. Shock Formation in SNe: Blast wave shock : Ejecta expansion speed is much higher than sound speed. Shocked CSM: Interaction of blast wave with CSM. CSM is accelerated, compressed, heated and shocked. Reverse Shock Formation: Due to deceleration of shocked ejecta around contact discontinuity as shocked CSM pushes back on the ejecta.

15. Circumstellar Interaction Shock velocity of typical SNe are ~1000 times the velocity of the (red supergiant) wind. Hence, SNe observed few years after explosion can probe the history of the progenitor star thousands of years back.

16. Radio emission from Supernovae: Synchrotron non-thermal emission of relativistic electrons in the presence of high magnetic field. X-ray emission from Supernovae: Both thermal and non-thermal emission from the region lying between optical and radio photospheres. Interaction of SN ejecta with CSM gives rise to radio and X-ray emission

36. ISM magnetic field is few microGauss. Shock wave will compress magnetic field at most by a factor of 4, still few 10s of microGauss. Hence magnetic field inside the forward shock is highly enhanced, most probably due to instabilities Equipartition magnetic field is 10 times smaller than actual B, hence magnetic energy density is 4 order of magnitude higher than relativistic energy density

37. They were discovered serendipitously in the late 1960s by U.S. military satellites which were on the look out for Soviet nuclear testing in violation of the atmospheric nuclear test ban treaty. These satellites carried gamma ray detectors since a nuclear explosion produces gamma rays. satellitesatmospheric Gamma-ray burst
