Caption: Figure 5.

Time evolution of kinematic temperature T kin at the cloud center after the supernova event that generates SNR N49. Colors indicate the assumed cosmic-ray ionization rate ζ from 3 × 10−17 s−1 to 1 × 10−14 s−1. The star symbol indicates the observed values of T kin for the ambient or pre-shocked clouds at the age of N49 (4800 yr).
