Extract

Cas A has a radio surface brightness much higher (by a factor of about 100) than that of any other galactic supernova remnant (SNR) and is probably the youngest (≤ 300 yr). It therefore provides unique information on young remnants, but this very uniqueness makes it hazardous to treat Cas A as a typical remnant. However, because it (i) shows a clearly defined shell of radio emission of much the same type as older remnants, and (ii) lies approximately on the extrapolation of the Σ.-D (surface brightness-diameter) relationship derived for older remnants (Clark and Caswell 1976); Caswell and Lerche 1979a), detailed comparison with older remnants seems appropriate.
