X-ray maps of the VELA supernova remnant
Abstract
X-ray maps of the Vela supernova remnant in two energy channels, 0.1-0.4 keV and 0.4-0.8 keV, are presented. The data were obtained in 1975 from a SAS 3 satellite observation. We describe the Wiener filter technique used to deconvolve the angular response of the instrument from the data. The X-ray structure is compared with the optical and radio features of the region.
