Table 6.

List of factors that may be responsible for radial polarization in RX J1713−3946 and Vela Jr. as discussed in Section 5.

Parameter Tangential-polarization mode Radial-polarization mode
(in the radio and X-ray bands) (RX J1713-3946 & Vela Jr.)
Bohm factor, η High (2–15) if measured Close to 1
High TeV γ-ray luminosity Only true for Cas A Yes
Shock obliquity Likely parallel in SN 1006 Likely perpendicular
Age > 1500 yr Only true for N132D & Puppis A Yes
Dominance of synchrotron X-rays Only true for SNR G1.9+0.3 Yes
Low ISM density Only true for SN 1006 Yes
