NON-THERMAL X-RAY EMISSION FROM THE NORTHWESTERN RIM OF THE GALACTIC SUPERNOVA REMNANT G266.2–1.2 (RX J0852.0-4622)

We present a detailed spatially resolved spectroscopic analysis of two observations (with a total integration time of 73280 s) made of the X-ray-luminous northwestern rim complex of the Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G266.2–1.2 (RX J0852.0-4622) with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. G266.2–1.2 is a...
