Scientific paper

We present new Chandra A01 data of the hard X-ray feature along the southern edge of the SNR IC443. With only 10 ks of observation time we were able to extract high resolution (~1'') images that reveal a soft point source embedded in a hard comet-shaped nebula. The background-subtracted spectrum of the point source is best fit with an absorbed black body model of temperature and surface area kT=0.1+/-0.1 keV and A=0.02-0.02+0.01(d/1.5 kpc)2 km2, respectively. .
