Scientific paper

We propose two ACIS observations of bullet D in the Vela supernova remnant, a bright feature which protrudes outside the main blast wave on the east side of the remnant. Using these observations, we can distinguish between the bullet picture, in which a fragment of supernova ejecta is now pushing beyond the blast wave, from a shock break-out picture, in which inhomogeneities in the ambient medium cause the shock to be non-spherical. Comparison of these AXAF/ACIS data with existing ultraviolet and optical data from the same region will provide strong constraints on the models.
