Description
By solving the Euler equations with magnetization constraints, we can establish the time evolution of composite supernova remnants in the interstellar medium. For given pulsar/SNR parameters and ISM density, we obtain the radial profiles of the pulsar wind nebular field strength (for different sigma parameters) and adiabatic loss rates. Using these constraints we then solve for the time dependent transport of assumed lepton spectra injected at the pulsar wind termination shock, which can reproduce radio, X-ray and VHE gamma-ray observations. By following the evolution of these spectra we can also predict the time evolution of fluxes in the X-ray, GeV and TeV domain.
