Suzaku observations of SNR1987A - a rusty remnent?
Abstract
We report results of Suzaku observations of SNR1987A focused on the XIS data The observations were made on November 4 2005 day 6829 after the explosion The spectrum is described with two-component thermal emission models The temperatures of the two components are sim 0 3 keV and sim 2 7 keV respectively The X-ray flux in 0 5-2 keV band was 2 28 pm 0 06 times 10 -12 erg cm -2 s -1 which follows the exponential rise with the time scale of sim 800 days since day sim 4000 after the explosion Assuming that the two components have the same elemental abundances deficiency of O and Fe was observed while the abundances of N Si and S showed higher values than the average of the LMC One of the possible interpretations of the deficiency of O and Fe is that these elements are confined in dust grains
