We show that the expansion of ejecta in Tycho's supernova remnant (SNR) is consistent with a spherically symmetric shell, based on Suzaku measurements of the Doppler broadened X-ray emission lines. All the strong K_alpha line emission show…

We present X-ray images of Tycho's supernova remnant in emission line features of Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca, and Fe, plus the continuum, using data obtained by the imaging spectrometers onboard the ASCA X-ray satellite. All the images show the…

In this paper, we investigated the Fe K-shell lines in the supernova remnant W51C and hard X-ray sources in the proximity. We measured the intensities of Fe I K$\alpha$ and Fe XXV He$\alpha$ lines at 6.40 keV and 6.68 keV, respectively, and…

Tycho's supernova remnant was observed by the XIS and HXD instruments onboard the Suzaku satellite on 2006 June 26-29 for 92 ks. The spectrum up to 30 keV was well fitted with a two-component model, consisting of a power-law with photon…

We present the observation of the Tycho supernova remnant obtained with the EPIC and RGS instruments onboard the XMM-Newton satellite. We compare images and azimuthally averaged radial profiles in emission lines from different elements…

We present the results of broadband fits to the X-ray spectrum of Tycho's supernova remnant obtained by the Solid-State Imaging Spectrometers on the ASCA Observatory. We use single-temperature, single-ionization-age, nonequilibrium…

We report a series of images of the Tycho supernova remnant at eight epochs extending over thirty years: 1986-2016. In addition to our H{\alpha} images, we have obtained matched continuum images which we subtract to reveal faint emission,…

We present Chandra X-ray images of Tycho's supernova remnant that delineate its outer shock as a thin, smooth rim along the straight northeastern edge and most of the circular western half. The images also show that the Si and S ejecta are…

A deep hard X-ray survey of the INTEGRAL satellite first detected the non-thermal emission up to 90 keV in the Tycho supernova (SN) remnant. Its 3 -- 100 keV spectrum is fitted with a thermal bremsstrahlung of $kT\sim 0.81\pm 0.45$ keV plus…

We found simultaneous decrease of Fe-K line and 4.2-6 keV continuum of Cassiopeia A with the monitoring data taken by Chandra in 2000-2013. The flux change rates in the whole remnant are $-$0.65$\pm$0.02 \% yr$^{-1}$ in the 4.2--6.0 keV…

We present the first results coming from the observation of Kepler's supernova remnant obtained with the EPIC instruments on board the XMM-Newton satellite. We focus on the images and radial profiles of the emission lines (Si K, Fe L, Fe K)…

Two ROSAT high resolution images separated by nearly five years have been used to determine the expansion of the X-ray remnant of Tycho's supernova (SN1572). The current expansion rate averaged over the entire remnant is $0.124\pm0.011$ %…

We present H$\alpha$ spectroscopic observations and detailed modelling of the Balmer filaments in the supernova remnant Tycho. We used Galaxy H$\alpha$ Fabry-P\'erot Spectrometer on the William Herschel Telescope with a 3.4'$\times$3.4'…

Motivated by the measurement of redshifted Fe H$\alpha$ lines during type I X-ray bursts on EXO 0748-676 (Cottam, Paerels & Mendez), we study the formation of atomic Fe lines above the photosphere of a bursting neutron star ($k_BT_{\rm eff}…
