Abstract

We present an approach to finding distances to young supernova remnants. Our method is based on hydrodynamical simulations of Tycho's SNR using the SUPREMNA code. For the explosion models, we use the classical W7 deflagration model and the delayed detonation model that was previously shown to provide good fits to the X-ray emission of Tycho's SNR. Combining our hydrodynamical simulations with the Chandra high-resolution images of the remnant obtained in 2015, we derive a distance estimate to Tycho's SNR of 2.8 ± 0.4 kpc.
