Supernova Remnants, Individual: Tycho, X-Rays

Scientific paper

Basic steps in history of X-ray astronomy and models of the one of the brightest cosmic X-ray sources, supernova remnants (SNRs), are described. The model of evolution of the SNR Tycho which takes into account the nonuniform ambient medium is presented for the first time. Characteristics of the SNR are found: energy of supenova explosion E = 1050 erg, ambient proton number density around the explosion position n = 1 cm-3, shock front radius Rs(theta=0) = 2.3 pc, Rs(theta=pi) = 2.1 pc, shock front velocity Ds(0) = 2200 km/s, Ds(p) = 1900 km/s, ambient proton number density in the region of the shock front n(0) = 0.75 cm-3, n(p) = 1.36 cm-3, swept-up mass M = 1.6 Msun, distance to the SNR d = 2.4 kpc.
