Sigma-D relation
(Redirected from D–σ relation)
The Sigma-D relation, or Σ-D Relation, is the claimed relation between the radio surface brightness and diameter of a supernova remnant. It is generally regarded as of limited physical use, since it has very large scatter and is dominated by observational selection biases.[1][2]
