How high energy fluxes may affect Rayleigh–Taylor instability growth in young supernova remnants

Radiation and conduction are generally considered as the main energy transport mechanisms for the evolution of early supernova remnants. Here the authors experimentally show the role of electron heat transfer on the growth of Rayleigh–Taylor instability in young supernova remnants.
