Nature of the Monoceros supernova remnant
Creators
Description
A dynamical expansion time of 3 X 10' years and an envelope of 100 km 1 are derived for the filamentary Monoceros Loop supernova remnant. Through arguments connecting three 0 stars with the supernova remnant, a lower limit of 25-30 M0 is derived for the progenitor star. A thermal soft X-ray point source located at a(1950) = , (1950) = + ' is predicted based on the hypothesis of a cooling neutron star. By analogy, we interpret the Cygnus Loop X-ray source as a neutron star.
