Chandra Observation of the Magellanic Cloud Supernova Remnant 0454-672 in N9
arXiv:astro-ph/0511619 · doi:10.1086/499767
Abstract
A Chandra observation has defined the extent of the SNR B 0454-692 in the LMC H II region N9. The remnant has dimension 2.3" x 3.6" and is elongated in the NS direction. The brightest emission comes from a NS central ridge which includes three bright patches. There is good agreement between X-ray and [O III] and [S II] morphology. The remnant is old enough so that optical data give more information about dynamics than do the X-ray data. The SN energy release was >= 4 x 10^50 ergs and the age is ~3 x 10^4 years. There are several unresolved sources nearby but none are clearly associated with the remnant. The X-ray spectrum is soft and indicates enhanced Fe abundance in the central region, consistent with a Type Ia SN origin, but a Type II origin cannot be ruled out.
