AbstractWe present ASCA and ROSAT observations of SN 1986J covering the period 1991 August to 1996 January. From observations with the ROSAT HRI and PSPC, we find that the 0.5-2.5 keV flux decreased proportional to $t^{-2}$ during this period; the ASCA data are consistent with this result and extend it to the 2-10 keV band. ASCA spectra from 1994 January and 1996 January are consistent with thermal emission from a solar metallicity plasma at an equilibrium temperature kT = 5-7.5 keV, somewhat hotter than that observed from other X-ray supernovae. These spectra also show a clear Fe K emission line at 6.7 keV with FWHM < 20,000 km/s (90% confidence). This limit on the line width is consistent with the reverse shock model of Chevalier & Fransson (1994), but does not rule out the clumpy wind model of Chugai (1993).
