|---|
Full view of Puppis A in X-rays obtained after combining the EPIC exposures of two new XMM-Newton observations with 53 re-reduced and cleaned images (from previous 45 XMM-Newton EPIC and 8 Chandra ACIS exposures). In this representation, red, green, and blue correspond to (0.3−0.7), (0.7−1.0) and (1.0−8.0) keV bands, respectively. The data are Gaussian-smoothed to an angular resolution of 10″. The intensity scale is square root.
Investigator(s): G. Dubner, N. Loiseau, P. Rodríguez-Pascual, M. J. S. Smith, E. Giacani, and G. Castelletti
