Abstract
- We present the kinematic results for the supernova remnant (SNR) CTB 1, obtained with the PUMA equipment of the 2.1-m telescope at San Pedro Mártir National Astronomical Observatory, Baja California, Mexico. The observations were made on the H α line using a Fabry–Perot interferometer. The kinematics derived from the Fabry–Perot velocity cubes allowed us to estimate a kinematic distance for this SNR. We estimate that CTB1 is about 3.8 kpc from the sun, corresponding to a linear diameter of 19 pc, with an expansion velocity of |$286 \rm ~ km ~s^{-1}$|. Additionally, we analyse the diffuse X-ray emission from CTB 1 using data from the XMM–Newton observatory. From the best fits to the spectrum of southwest and northeast regions, we obtained a hot plasma temperature |$\sim 0.1-0.3 ~\rm keV$| with an overabundance in O and Ne and a lower abundance in Fe, which could be caused by a SNR with a stellar progenitor between 10 to |$70 \, \rm {\rm M}_{\odot }$|. The initial energy of the supernova explosion is estimated between (0.6–1.0) × 10<superscript>50</superscript> erg for soft X-ray emission. The X-ray emission also presents a non-thermal component of low surface brightness in the hard X-ray band. Images in radio and X-ray emission allow us to classify CTB 1 as mixed-morphology supernova type. The evolution models show that the cloudy ISM model is the only one that reproduces the mixed morphology type observed in the SNR CTB 1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
