A Preliminary Chandra X-ray Spectroscopy of the Supernova Remnant N132D
arXiv:astro-ph/0703750 · doi:10.1016/j.asr.2007.03.071
Abstract
We present the preliminary results of a Chandra X-ray study of N132D, a young shell-like supernova remnant (SNR) in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The equivalent width maps of emissions from O, Ne, Mg, Si, and S are provided. Spatially resolved spectral analysis for the small-scale regions were tentatively performed. The X-ray spectra of the interior can be described with a single-thermal model. The faint interior regions have lower density and higher temperature (above 1keV) than those of bright interior regions. The X-ray spectra along the shell can be phenomenally fitted with either a double-vpshock model or a vpshock + powerlaw model. If the non-thermal component is true, N132D would be listed as another X-ray synchrotron SNR.
