The interstellar medium around the supernova remnant G320.4-1.2
Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array, we have carried out a survey of the H I emission in the direction of the barrel-shaped supernova remnant (SNR) G320.4-1.2 (MSH 15-52) and its associated young pulsar B1509-58. The angular resolution of the data is 4.′0 × 2.′7, and the rms noise is of orde...

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array, we have carried out a survey of the H I emission in the direction of the barrel-shaped supernova remnant (SNR) G320.4-1.2 (MSH 15-52) and its associated young pulsar B1509-58. The angular resolution of the data is 4.′0 × 2.′7, and the rms noise is of order 30 mJy beam-1 (∼0.5 K). The H I observations indicate that the north-northwest radio limb has encountered a dense H I filament (density ∼12 cm-3) at the same LSR velocity as that of the SNR (VLSR ∼ -68 km s-1). This H I concentration would be responsible for the flattened shape of the northwestern lobe of G320.4-1.2 and for the formation of the radio-optical-X-ray nebula RCW 89.
