Low Energy X-ray Map of Puppis A Supernova Remnant

Nature Physical Science volume 243, pages 4–5 (1973)Cite this article

Abstract

THE low energy X-ray emission from the Puppis A supernova remnant has recently been observed with the Mullard Space Science Laboratory grazing incidence telescopes on Copernicus. The instrumentation has been described before1. The observations reported here are from the 0.5–1.5 keV detector system. The whole of the radio remnant has been mapped using the 10 arc min field of view. Some additional data from the 6 arc min field of view are also presented.
