2 Interaction with CSM/ISM radiative shock in dense gas heating, chemistry, dust processing Massive Stars form in GMC Young adiabatic SNR >8 Msol dies within cloud lifetime (~40% SNe in the field) expanding in wind cavity ejecta mixing, dust creation, cosmic ray accel SNR merges into ISM Superbubble / Chimney release of cosmic rays

3 W44, enveloped by a molecular cloud Radiative signatures: IR-bright => shock cooling in relatively dense gas (>10 3 cm -3 ) Broad molecular lines (eg. CO 2-1) Supernova Remnants Interacting with Clouds Spitzer IRAC color image (Reach, Rho et al. 2006): Shocked H 2 (4.5 μm, green), PAH and dust (8 μm, red) Reach, Rho, Jarrett (2005) 12CO(2-1), ΔV=40 km/s)
