Supernova Shells and Their Birth Events Proceedings of a Workshop Held at Physikzentrum Bad Honnef March 7–11, 1988

For a better understanding of supernova explosions the contributors to this volume provide researchers and graduate students in astrophysics with a broad spectrum of alternatives. The confrontation of different theories in one volume should prompt further exploration of the driving piston for the ex...
