HIGH-RESOLUTION X-RAY IMAGING OF SUPERNOVA REMNANT 1987A
HIGH-RESOLUTION X-RAY IMAGING OF SUPERNOVA REMNANT 1987A
We report observations of the remnant of supernova 1987A with the High Resolution Camera (HRC) on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory. A direct image from the HRC resolves the annular structure of the X-ray remnant, confirming the morphology previously inferred by deconvolution of lower resolution data from the Advanced CCD …
