Contribution

It provides a new analytical approach for supernova remnants with specific spectral indices, enhancing previous equipartition calculations.

Findings

Extended the modified equipartition method to =0.5 and =1 cases.

Improved estimates of magnetic field strength in supernova remnants.

Enhanced understanding of energy distribution in SNRs.

Abstract

The equipartition or minimum-energy calculation is a well-known procedure for estimating magnetic field strength and total energy in the magnetic field and cosmic ray particles by using only the radio synchrotron emission. In one of our previous papers we have offered a modified equipartition calculation for supernova remnants (SNRs) with spectral indices 0.5<\alpha <1. Here we extend the analysis to SNRs with \alpha =0.5 and \alpha =1.
