K[CLC]es[/CLC] 73: A Young Supernova Remnant with an X-Ray–bright, Radio-quiet Central Source
We clarify the nature of the small-diameter supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 73 and its central compact source, 1E 1841-045, using X-ray data acquired with the ASCA Observatory. We introduce a spatio-spectral decomposition technique necessary to disentangle the ASCA spectrum of the compact source from the barely resolved shell-type remnant. The …
