Suzaku Observations of Young Supernova Remnants

We have observed several young supernova remnants with the Japanese X-ray satellite Suzaku to study the nucleosynthesis in supernova explosions. We have discovered very low abundant elements, chromium, manganeese, for the first time in Tycho's, Kepler's and N103B supernova remants. We also...

Description
Summary:We have observed several young supernova remnants with the Japanese X-ray satellite Suzaku to study the nucleosynthesis in supernova explosions. We have discovered very low abundant elements, chromium, manganeese, for the first time in Tycho's, Kepler's and N103B supernova remants. We also found nickel in Kepler's supernova remant. The production yield of those metals tells us the nucleosynthesis in the thermonuclear explosive supernovae and metallicity environment at the progenitor stars were bom.
