Suzaku Results of SN 1006: Chemical abundances of the youngest Galactic

This study examines the chemical abundances of SN 1006, the youngest Galactic Type Ia Supernova Remnant. The analysis reveals unusual plasma characteristics and non-equilibrium between electron and ionization temperatures.

  1. Suzaku Results of SN 1006: Chemical abundances of the youngest Galactic Type Ia Supernova Remnant Katsuji Koyama Department of physics, Kyoto University, Kitashirakawa, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8502 “youngest”

  2. 如螢惑(Mars) 騎官 (kikan) 一條院 寛弘三年四月二日葵酉夜以降 騎官中有大客星如螢惑光明動耀 連夜正見南方或云 騎陣将軍星本体 増変光 SN1006 On May 1st 1006, a great guest star appeared in “Kikan” (the Oriental name of the constellation Lupus and Centaurus.). It was very bright like Mars, and visible in the southern sky in every night.

  3. 1006/05/01, Midnight Southern Sky of Kyoto Mars Antares SN 1006 如螢惑 (similar to Mars)

  4. Old record from Asia and Arabia 明月記(Kyoto):寛弘三年四月二日(= 5/1)如螢惑(like Mars) Ibn al-Jawzi (Baghdad) :  A large star similar to Venus appeared to the left of qibla. at the beginning of the month of Sha’ban (=5/3). Ali ibn Ridwan(Egypt) :  2.5 to 3 times as large as Venus. The intensity of its light was a little more than a quarter of that moonlight.

Suzaku Wall painting in the old tomb“KitoraKofun” XRT XRT (X-Ray Telescope) XIS (X-ray Imaging Spectrometer: CCD) XIS The 5th Japanese X-ray astronomical Satellite, lauched on July 10th 2005 Suzaku Suzaku: “red angel bird” of the Oriental Mythology, living in the Southern Sky of the Palace In 2006, Suzaku saw a southern sky, and took a millennium-memorial X-ray picture of SN1006

  7. High Temperature Plasmas in SN1006 Discovery of Ar, Ca and Fe Lines Black : FI-CCD Red : BI-CCD This spectrum is very unusual, hence can not be applied by the conventional plasma code. What is unusual, what is the difference between this plasma and those in the other SNRs ? In normal cases, we can determine the chemical compositions using the conventional plasma code. The plasma code has been made based on the laboratory plasma physics. However,

  8. H-like oxygen He-like oxygen 730eV 920eV 575eV 672eV 820eV He-like Kα: 570eV H-like Lyα :650eV He-Kβat 670 eV We found Kγ、Kδlines at 730 eV and 820 eV This is very surprising (no plasma code !) High electron temperature (kTe ~ 1.5 [keV] ), but Low ionization states (kTi ~ 0.15 [keV]) If we see this spectrum in the other SNRs, most of the X-ray Astronomers believe that these two-lines are He-like and H-like Ka. This, in fact, is true for any other SNRs.

  10. 1) kTe=0.54 (0.52-0.58) keV, net= 6.7×109 :solar abundance 2) kTe = 1.2 (1.1-1.3) keV, net = 1.3×1010 :over abundance 3) kTe = 1.5 (1.5-1.6) keV, net = 7.4×108 : over abundance

  11. 2) kTe = 1.2 (1.1-1.3) keV, net = 1.3×1010 = Ejecta1 3) kTe = 1.5 (1.5-1.6) keV, net = 7.4×108 = Ejecta2 Ejecta1: Reverse shock of Early heating (Outer Shell) Ejecta2: Reverse shock of Recent heating (Inner Shell) Ejecta 2 Ejecta 1 Si S Fe Mg O C C (Nomoto el al. 1984) Large Si, S Large Ca, Fe

  12. Conclusion • We discovered Ar, Ca and Fe Lines for the first • time • (2) We found extremely non-equilibrium between • electron temperature and ionization temperature. • (3) The ejecta consists of two plasma components: • One has almost identical abundance profile to • that of the theoretical prediction of type Ia SNR, • and the other has lower abundance in Fe. • The former would be due to an inner part of the • SNR and the latter is due to an outer part.
