SPITZER SPECTRAL MAPPING OF SUPERNOVA REMNANT CASSIOPEIA A

We present the global distribution of fine-structure infrared line emission in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant using data from the Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared spectrograph. We identify emission from ejecta materials in the interior, prior to their encounter with the reverse shock, as...
