Abstract

An attempt is made to determine whether or not the structure of supernova remnant shells is dependent on the angle between the line of sight and the Galactic magnetic field and if this structure can be explained either by quasi-parallel or quasi-perpendicular acceleration. The method used to determine the line of sight angles to the magnetic field is described. A model for the emissivity of a supernova remnant is developed.
