Results of 1D HD simulations of the evolution of the reverse-to-forward shock radius ratio (R RS/R FS) as a function of SNR age for a radially decreasing ambient density profile of the form ﹩\rho =\dot{M}/4\pi {r}^{2}{v}_{w}﹩, where the mass-loss rate ﹩\dot{M}=2\times {10}^{-5}\ {M}_{\odot }\ {\mathrm{yr}}^{-1}﹩ and the wind velocity v w = 10 km s−1. The curves depict models with the same ambient density profile and explosion energy of 1051 erg, but with different ejecta masses ranging from 2 to 4 M ⊙. The dotted horizontal and vertical lines represent the R RS/R FS and SNR age for G292.0+1.8.
