Summary
[edit]DescriptionIgrj11014 w22.jpg |
English: X-ray observations from Chandra (green) and XMM-Newton (purple) have been combined such that the large area of diffuse X-rays seen by XMM-Newton was produced when a massive star exploded as a supernova, leaving behind a debris field, or supernova remnant known as SNR MSH 11-16A. Shocks waves from the supernova have heated surrounding gas to several million degrees Kelvin, causing the remnant to glow brightly in X-rays.
The point-like X-ray source (Chandra green) was discovered by the International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory, or INTEGRAL, and is called IGR J11014-6103 (or IGR J11014 for short). |
