Study of NGC2070 at 3-8 Kev and 8-20 Kev using RXTE Survey
Abstract
In the present work, we studied the variation of relative flux density along the primary and secondary maxima in NGC2070 using 3-8 Kev and 8-20 Kev RXTE Survey. These two X-ray pass-bands are responsible for free-free transition and inner transition of electron because of strong radiation field of NGC2070. A similar knoty structure is found in both 3-8 Kev and 8-20 Kev passbands. However, the maxima is found to be located in the different knots. A similar nature of flux density variation is observed in both passbands, suggesting a strong association between the substructures. We conclude that the nebula NGC2070 exhibit X-ray dominated region which generally reduces the initial mass function of the interstellar cloud. A further study is needed in order to know the shaping mechanism of the structure.
