Scientific paper

The rocket soft X-ray observations of the North Polar Spur (Loop I) using a resolution of 15 arcmin in one direction and energy response down to 60 eV indicated that the X-ray ridge relative to the radio ridge shows a supernova remnant in the adiabatic phase of its evolution. The remnant age is 750,000 yr and it has exploded in a very low gas density of 0.01/cu cm. It is suggested that the explosion occurred in a local hot region of the size smaller than that proposed by Hayakawa et al. (1979); it represents an old supernova remnant which has already entered the radiative cooling phase.
