| Abstract: | We present spectroscopy of the molecular shock in the supernova remnant IC 443. The H2 level populations in IC 443 are nearly identical to Orion Peak 1 (Brand et al. 1988; Parmar et al. 1994) and are consistent with a partially dissociative J-shock. The similarity with Orion suggests the shock processes which dominate the emission in both regions are essentially identical. |
