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 newly discovered supernova remnant G266.2-1.2 (RX J0852.0-4622), along the line of sight to the Vela SNR, was observed with ASCA for 120 ks. We find that the X-ray spectrum is featureless, and well described by a power law, extending to…
X-ray images and spectra of 5 cataloged supernova remnants (SNRs), G12.0-0.1, G346.6-0.2, G348.5+0.1, G348.7+0.3, and G355.6-0.0, observed in the ASCA galactic plane survey are presented. The sizes of X-ray emission from G12.0-0.1,…
We discovered a middle-aged supernova remnant (SNR) in the vicinity of G69.7+1.0 using the ASCA satellite. G69.7+1.0 was identified in the 2.7 GHz survey and classified as a shell-type SNR with a diameter of 16 arcmin. During the ROSAT…
Several shrapnels have been detected in the vicinity of Vela SNR by the ROSAT all-sky survey. We present here the spectral properties of shrapnel `A' observed with the ASCA satellite. A prominent Si-K emission line with relatively weak…
The newly discovered supernova remnant G266.2-1.2 (RX J0852.0--0462), along the line of sight to the Vela SNR, was observed with ASCA for 120 ks. We find that the X-ray spectrum is featureless, and well described by a power law, extending…
We present the results of deep ASCA observations of two shell-like radio supernova remnants (SNRs) located in the direction to the Galactic center (GC) region. Unlike the radio morphology, G359.1-0.5 shows center-filled X-rays with…
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…
We present in this paper analyses of the $ROSAT$ PSPC and $ASCA$ SIS and GIS observations of the Crab-like supernova remnant (SNR) G54.1+0.3. Its spectrum obtained by $ROSAT$ PSPC favors a power law model with a photon index of…
Mixed-morphology supernova remnants (MM SNRs) are a mysterious class of objects that display thermal X-ray emission within their radio shell. They are an older class of SNRs, and as such are profoundly affected by the environment into which…
We present the Chandra results of AX J1843.8-0352, a supernova remnant (SNR) recently identified with ASCA. Chandra spatially resolved two components from this SNR: non-thermal and thermal ones. The morphology of the non-thermal component…
Aims: We present a detailed study of the supernova remnant (SNR) G296.7-0.9 in the 0.2-12 keV X-ray band. Methods: Using data from XMM-Newton we performed a spectro-imaging analysis of G296.7-0.9 in order to deduce the basic parameters of…
We report the ASCA results of the supernova remnants (SNRs) and their candidates in the Galactic Center region. We found apparent X-ray emission from G359.1-0.5 and G0.9+0.1, and made marginal detection for G359.1+0.9, but found no…
We present the analysis of archival data from the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics} (ASCA) of the supernova remnant (SNR) G39.2-0.3. G39.2-0.3 has been sometimes characterized as a shell-like remnant in the literature but…
Supernova remnant (SNR) detection along the Galactic plane poses a number of challenges. The SNR G309.8+00.0 lies exactly on the Galactic plane, with its center coinciding with galactic latitude (b)=0 deg. In this paper we report the first…
We present ASCA observations of supernova remnant (SNR) G349.7+0.2. The remnant has an irregular shell morphology and is interacting with a molecular cloud, evident from the presence of OH(1720 MHz) masers and shocked molecular gas. The…
A combination of archival multi-frequency radio observations with narrow-band HAlpha optical imagery and new confirmatory optical spectroscopy have shown that candidate supernova remnant G6.31+0.54 can now be confirmed as part of a Galactic…
(Abridged) We present an analysis of X-ray observations made of the Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) HB21 (G89.0+4.7) and CTB 1 (G116.9+0.2), two well-known mixed-morphology (MM) SNRs. We find a marked contrast between the X-ray…
G272.2-3.2 is a supernova remnant (SNR) characterized by an apparent centrally brightened X-ray morphology and thermally dominated X-ray emission. Because of this combination of Sedov-type (thermal emission) and non-Sedov type (non-shell…
We clarify the nature of the small-diameter supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 73 and its central compact source, 1E 1841-045, using X-ray data acquired with the ASCA Observatory. We introduce a spatio-spectral decomposition technique necessary to…
