6 May 2003 | | Journal: | Astrophys.J. 590 (2003) L21-L24 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | CfA), L.O. Sjouwerman (NRAO), B.F. Williams, M.R. Garcia (CfA), and J.R. Dickel (UIUC | | Abstract: | We have detected a spatially resolved supernova remnant (SNR) in the center of the Andromeda Galaxy, in radio, X-ray, and optical wavelengths. These observations provide the highest spatial resolution imaging of a radio/X-ray/optical SNR in that galaxy to date. The multi-wavelength morphology, radio spectral index, X-ray colors, and narrow-band optical imaging are consistent with a shell-type SNR. A second SNR is also seen resolved in both radio and X-ray. By comparing the morphological sturcture of the SNRs in different wavelengths and with that in our own Galaxy, we can study the shock morphologies of SNRs in the Andromeda Galaxy. The proximity of the SNRs to the core suggests high interstellar medium density in the vicinity of the SNRs in the center of the Andromeda Galaxy. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0305087 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
