Kinematics of supernova remnants in the Galaxy and LMCThe optical emission lines of six SNRs have been observed at very high angular and kinematic resolutions. Kinematic ion temperatures were derived, and evidence was found in shocked regions for Maxwellian microturbulence on scales approximately equal to or less than 0.01 pc, and for non-Maxwellian macroturbulence on scales greater than 0.1 pc. The widths of shocked regions in the Cygnus Loop and the existence of three types of spectral feature in the LMC remnants are discussed in terms of SNR evolution in cloudly interstellar media.
