Latest Evolution of the X-Ray Remnant of SN 1987A: Beyond the Inner Ring

Latest Evolution of the X-Ray Remnant of SN 1987A: Beyond the Inner Ring

Based on our Chandra imaging-spectroscopic observations, we present the latest evolution of the X-ray remnant of SN 1987A. Recent changes in the electron temperatures and volume emission measures suggest that the blast wave in SN 1987A is moving out of the dense inner ring structure, also called the...
