Probing the Reverse Shock in an Oxygen-Rich Supernova RemnantThe aim of this proposal was to examine the O VI emission at three positions around the X-ray bright ring of the remnant in order to investigate the relation between the O VI emission, the X-ray O VII and O VIII emission, and the optical [O III] emission, and how these vary around the rim of the remnant. So far, only one Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) pointing at the remnant has been performed, together with the background pointing needed to subtract the diffuse scattered light from nearby O stars. The data were recalibrated using the CalFUSE calibration pipeline, but the emission is faint enough that hand processing will be needed for this pointing to optimize the extraction. Rereduction of the data is underway. A postdoctoral fellow has also been hired, and in part she will assist with the analysis.
