RX-J0852−4622: THE NEAREST HISTORICAL SUPERNOVA REMNANT – AGAIN

RX-J0852−4622, a supernova remnant, is demonstrated to be closer than 500 pc, based on the measurements of the angular radius, the angular expansion rate and the TeV g-ray flux. This is a new method of limiting the distance to any supernova remnant with hadronic induced TeV g-ray flux. The progenito...
