N49: The site of a gamma-ray burst - Preliminary results from X-ray observations
Abstract
The error box of the unusual gamma-ray burst of March 5, 1979 falls completely inside the optical and radio image of the supernova remnant N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This region was observed twice in X-rays with the High Resolution Imager of the Einstein Observatory, six weeks and nearly two years after the gamma-ray burst. The authors show the comparison between the two observations.
