A Physical Relationship Between Electron-Proton Temperature Equilibration and Mach Number in Fast Collisionless Shocks
Parviz Ghavamian, J. Martin Laming, Cara E. Rakowski
The analysis of Balmer-dominated optical spectra from non-radiative (adiabatic) SNRs has shown that the ratio of the electron to proton temperature temperature at the blast wave is…
[Ne V] Imaging of N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Cara E. Rakowski, John C. Raymond, Andrew H. Szentgyorgyi
We present sub-arcsecond imaging in [Ne V] of N49, the brightest optical SNR in the LMC. Between the "cool" optical and "hot" X-ray regimes, [Ne V] emission indicates intermediate…
Extraordinarily Hot X-ray Emission from the 09 Emission Line Star HD 119682
C. E. Rakowski, N. S. Schulz, S. J. Wolk +1
We present new optical and X-ray observations to show that the X-ray source 1 WGA J1346.5--6255 previously associated with the SNR G309.2--0.6 can be unequivocally identified with…
