Hitomi observations of the LMC SNR N 132 D: Highly redshifted X-ray emission from iron ejecta

Hitomi observations of the LMC SNR N 132 D: Highly redshifted X-ray emission from iron ejecta

We present Hitomi observations of N132D, a young, X-ray bright, O-rich core-collapse supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Despite a very short observation of only 3.7 ks, the Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS) easily detects the line complexes of highly ionized S K and Fe K with 16-17 counts …
