XMM-Newton observations of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 and its central source

The observations of the supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946 performed in five distinct pointings with the EPIC instrument on board the satellite XMM-Newton were presented. RX J1713.7-3946 is a shell type SNR dominated by synchrotron radiation in the X-rays. Its emission and absorption along the...

Sumario:The observations of the supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946 performed in five distinct pointings with the EPIC instrument on board the satellite XMM-Newton were presented. RX J1713.7-3946 is a shell type SNR dominated by synchrotron radiation in the X-rays. Its emission and absorption along the line-of-sight was characterized over the entire SNR. The X-ray mapping of the absorbing column density revealed strong well-constrained variations and a strong absorption in the southwest.
