Abstract
- The surface brightness of the Cygnus Loop in X rays was obtained on a scale of 0.25 sq deg. The X-ray emission shows strong limb brightening, implying a shell-like source structure. The shell exhibits several regions of enhanced emission. X-ray emission which was observed from a region near the center of the Loop may be from a remnant object. The correlation between X-ray and optical emission is not as good as the correlation between radio and optical emission.
