Scientific paper

Fast supernova remnant shocks in partially neutral gas should produce a population of pickup ions from neutrals that pass through the shock. In favorable cases, these pickup ions may be detectable as a departure from a Gaussian profile in the Hα line. This paper discusses models of the profiles, along with the Hα profile of a shock in Tycho's Supernova Remnant. The distortion of that profile could be interpreted as an indication of a pickup ion population, but several other interpretations are possible.
