The observed anomalous steady decrease in surface temperature of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), which was reported about ten years ago, has generated much debate. Several exotic cooling scenarios have been proposed using…

Central Compact Objects (CCOs) are a handful of soft X-ray sources located close to the centers of Supernova Remnants and supposed to be young, radio-quiet Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs). A clear understanding of their physics would be…

We report the discovery of pulsed X-ray emission from the compact object CXOU J112439.1-591620 within the supernova remnant (SNR) G292.0+1.8 using the High Resolution Camera on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The X-ray period (P=0.13530915…

1E 1207.4-5209, the peculiar Central Compact object in the G296.5+10.0 supernova remnant, has been proposed to be an "anti-magnetar" - a young neutron star born with a weak dipole field. Accretion, possibly of supernova fallback material,…

We present the results from ASCA observations of the centrally enhanced supernova remnant 3C 391 (G31.9+0.0). We use the ASCA SIS data to carry out an investigation of the spatial and spectral properties of the X-ray emission from this…

The study on the dynamic evolution of young supernova remnants (SNRs) is an important way to understand the density structure of the progenitor's circumstellar medium. We have reported the acceleration or deceleration, proper motion and…

There is observational evidence that central compact objects (CCOs) in supernova remnants have moderately strong magnetic fields $B\sim10^{11}$ G. Meanwhile, available models of partially ionized hydrogen atmospheres of neutron stars with…

The standard cooling scenario in the presence of nucleon superfluidity fits rather well to the observation of the neutron stars. It implies that the stellar cooling arguments could place a stringent constraint on the properties of novel…

We re-analyzed soft X-ray data collected with the ROSAT and ASCA observatories on a candidate neutron star (NS) near the center of the supernova remnant PKS 1209-52. We fitted the observed spectra with NS atmosphere models. The hydrogen…

We present the results of X-ray spatial and spectral studies of the ``mixed-morphology'' supernova remnant IC 443 using ASCA. IC 443 has a center-filled image in X-ray band, contrasting with the shell-like appearance in radio and optical…

Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) are jetted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with overall projected size <1 kpc. The classification was introduced to distinguish these objects from the majority of compact jetted-AGN in centimeter wavelength…

The recent survey of the core-collapse supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (CasA) with the MIRI instrument on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) revealed a large structure in the interior region, referred to as the "Green Monster".…

We present Chandra X-ray Observatory archival observations of the supernova remnant 1E0102.2-7219, a young Oxygen-rich remnant in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Combining 28 ObsIDs for 324 ks of total exposure time, we present an ACIS image…

We present X-ray emission line equivalent width images of the bright Galactic supernova remnant Cassiopeia A for the elements Si, S, Ar, Ca, and Fe using a 50,000 s observation with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer on the Chandra X-ray…

The properties of the presumably young galactic supernova remnant (SNR) RX J0852.0-4622, discovered by ROSAT, are still uncertain. The data concerning the distance to the SNR, its age, and the presence of a compact remnant remain…

The nonlinear kinetic model of cosmic ray (CR) acceleration in supernova remnants (SNRs) is used to describe the relevant properties of Cassiopeia A (Cas A). In order to reproduce the SNR's observed size, expansion rate and thermal X-ray…

A comparison of X-ray observations of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant taken in 2000, 2002, and 2004 with the Chandra ACIS-S3 reveals the presence of several small scale features (<= 10 arcsec) which exhibit significant intensity changes…

We report the localization of the forward and reversed shock fronts in the young supernova remnant Cas-A using X-ray data obtained with the Chandra Observatory. High resolution X-ray maps resolve a previously unseen X-ray feature…

The cooling flow cluster Hydra A was observed during the orbital activation and calibration phase of the Chandra Observatory. While the X-ray image of the cluster exhibits complex structure in the central region as reported in McNamara…

We present and interpret new X-ray data for M33SNR21, the brightest X-ray supernova remnant (SNR) in M33. The SNR is in seen projection against (and appears to be interacting with) the bright HII region NGC592. Data for this source were…
