内容記述 | Observations of the far-ultraviolet spectrum of a bright radiative filament on the eastern edge of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant are described which were made through the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope aboard the Astro-1 Space Shuttle mission in December 1990. Observations include strong emission lines of C III 977, N III 991, and O VI 032, 1038 and many fainter lines. A comparison of this spectrum with shock model calculations indicates that the emission at this position in the Cygnus Loop is dominated by 170 km/s shock wave. |
