During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. A Chandra image release was issued on Feb 12 describing observations of the supernova remnant G299.2-2.9. The shape of the supernova remnant today gives clues about the explosion that created it about 4,500 years ago. G299.2-2.9 belongs to the class of supernovas known as Type Ias. Astronomers are trying to determine the exact mechanisms that produce these particular explosions. For details see: http://chandra.si.edu/photo/2015/g299/ The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below |
