High quality X-ray spectral and imaging observations of the Cygnus Loop have been obtained with three different instruments. The High Resolution Imager (HRI) on the Einstein Observatory was used to obtain arcsecond resolution images of select bright regions in the Cygnus Loop which permit detailed comparisons between the X-ray, optical, and radio structure of the Loop. The Imaging Proportional Counter (IPC) on the Einstein Observatory was used to obtain an arcminute resolution map of essentially the full Loop structure. Finally, an Imaging Gas Scintillation Proportional Counter (IGSPC), carried aloft by a sounding rocket last fall, obtained modest resolution, spatially resolved spectrophotometry of the Cygnus Loop. An X-ray map of the Loop in the energy of the 0 VIII line was obtained. These data combine to yield a very powerful probe of the abundance, temperature, and density distribution of material in the supernova remnant, and in the interstellar medium.

High resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the brightest knot of emission in the Puppis A supernova remnant shows that it is made up of ionizing plasma, far from equilibrium. Flux measurements in several X-ray lines enable us to determine the non-equilibrium conditions: electron temperature, ion populations, and time since the knot was heated by the supernova shock. Imaging and spectroscopic data from the Einstein Observatory together suggest that this knot is a cloud of density about 10 cm−3 which has recently been shocked to a temperature 7 × 106 K. Radio and optical data on the region appear consistent with this picture.

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. We show the comparison between the two observations.

AbstractThe supernova remnant (SNR) E0102.2-72.2 is the brightest in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at X-ray wavelengths. This object, which is remarkable because of its high velocity (∼4000 km s−1) oxygen-rich optical emission, appears to be similarly remarkable at X-ray wavelengths. The high resolution imager (HRI) data can be quite well described by a thick ring with a radius of ∼19" (6 pc at a distance of 63 kpc). The imaging proportional counter (IPC) X-ray spectral data can be best fit by a single emission line of energy ∼0.9 keV. It seems likely that this is the emission from a plasma of almost pure neon.

We present the first high-resolution radio image of the supernova remnant N49 near the northern edge of the LMC. These observations with the Australia Telescope at 6cm wavelength (4 arcsec resolution) show a distinct radio shell. The shell structure of N49 is similar in radio and X-ray emission, with the maximum of the emission found in the southeastern part of the SNR.

We present a high-resolution radio-continuum study of Galactic supernova remnant MSH11-61A. We combine moderate resolution X-ray, radio-continuum and CO data to study the morphology and kinematics of MSH 11-61A. We estimate the radio-continuum spectral index to be ?843?4850=- 0.33?0.07 based on our flux density measurements and also note that this SNR has significant 'turn?over' spectra at lower (29.9843 MHz) frequencies. The diameter of MSH1161A is estimated to be 12.5' with 'ear' extensions of 41 to the northwest and southeast. The striking anticorrelation between X-ray and radio-continuum images confirms a mixed-morphology classification of this remnant. The CO images are consistent with a distance reported by Rosado et al.(1996) of about 7 kpc. .
