ROSAT/ASCA observations of the mixed-morphology supernova remnant W28

摘要

We present three sets of ROSAT PSPC and four sets of ASCA observations of the supernova remnant (SNR) W28. The overall shape of x-ray emission in W28 is elliptical, dominated by a centrally-concentrated interior emission, sharply peaked at the center. There are also partial northeastern and southwestern shells, and both central and shell x-ray emission is highly patchy.
