Description
Exosat observations of the SNR G109.1-1.0 and the X-ray pulsar 1E 2259+586 obtained in December 1984 show a similar spatial distribution of the X-ray emission to that found by the Einstein Observatory, but different spectra for the various source components. A pulsar period of 6.978725 s was found for this epoch. The results indicate that the remnant is in the adiabatic phase, with an age of the order of 10,000 yr, and a SN energy in the range 10 to the 51st-10 to the 52nd ergs. Interpretations for the jet emission as either thermal or nonthermal are considered. 30 references
