Distribution of supernova remnants in the Galaxy: Evidence for a tunnel system

Counts of supernova remnants are used to derive the supernova rate, average remnant evolution, and probability that a remnant encounters a hot, low- density tunnel in the interstellar medium. The results suggest that tunnels occupy about 80 percent of the galactic volume. It is further found that the remnants in the inner parts of the Galaxy may be in a later stage of evolution than the average remnant in the outer parts of the Galaxy. (AIP)
