Spectroscopic Study of the Vela-Shrapnel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several shrapnels have been detected in the vicinity of Vela SNR by the ROSAT all-sky survey. We present here the spectral properties of shrapnel ‘A’ observed with the ASCA satellite. A prominent Si-K emission line with relatively weak emission lines from other elements have been detected, revealing that the relative abundance of Si is a few ten-times higher than those of other elements. Combining with the ROSAT PSPC results, we obtained the electron temperature, kTe, to be 0.33± 0.01 keV. The total mass of shrapnel ‘A’ is estimated to be ∼ 0.01M⊙. If it is an ejecta of a supernova explosion, the interstellar matter (ISM) would be swept up in the leading edge while the ejecta material would be peeled off in the trailing edge, which should be confirmed by future observations.

Suzaku Spectroscopy of Vela Shrapnel
We present the X-ray observation of Vela shrapnel B with the XIS on board the Suzaku satellite. The shrapnel is one of several ejecta fragment-like features protruding beyond the primary blast wave shock front of the Vela supernova remnant. The spectrum of shrapnel B is well-represented by a singletemperature thin-thermal plasma in a non-equilibrium ionization state. The elemental abundances of...
متن کاملShrapnel Injury of Isolated Third Cranial Nerve
Isolated third nerve palsy develops in numerous intracranial pathologies such as closed head trauma, tumor, and aneurysm. Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy caused by shrapnel injury is uncommon. After a penetrating intracranial shrapnel injury, our patient with oculomotor ophthalmoplegia underwent surgery. Microsurgery removed the shrapnel that was applying pressure on the third nerve, resulting ...
متن کاملModelling debris and shrapnel generation in inertial confinement fusion experiments
Modelling and mitigation of damage are crucial for safe and economical operation of high-power laser facilities. Experiments at the National Ignition Facility use a variety of targets with a range of laser energies spanning more than two orders of magnitude (∼14 kJ to ∼1.9 MJ). Low-energy inertial confinement fusion experiments are used to study early-time x-ray load symmetry on the capsule, sh...
متن کاملMulticolor Photometry of the Vela Pulsar ⋆
Multicolor photometry of the Vela pulsar (PSR B0833−45), updated by recent HST/WFPC2 observations obtained in the 555W , 675W and 814W filters, is presented. The available data provide the best characterization so far of the pulsar spectral shape, which is dominated by a flat power law continuum with spectral index α = −0.2± 0.2, consistent with the extrapolation in the optical domain of the po...
متن کاملUltrasound imaging of embedded shrapnel facilitates diagnosis and management of myofascial pain syndrome.
Trigger points can result from a variety of inciting events including muscle overuse, trauma, mechanical overload, and psychological stress. When the myofascial trigger points occur in cervical musculature, they have been known to cause headaches. Ultrasound imaging is being increasingly used for the diagnosis and interventional management of various painful conditions. A veteran was referred t...
