High-velocity emission in young supernova remnants: SN 1006 and SN 1572The paper reports the discovery of broad H-alpha emission from the SN 1006 remnant with a FWHM velocity of 2600 + or - 100 km/s. This emission is similar to that seen in the remnant of SN 1572 which has a FWHM for H-alpha of 1800 km/s. The nonradiative model was used to interpret the line widths and the derived shock velocity was compared with proper motion measurements to derive distances of 1.4-2.1 kpc to SN 1006 and 2.0-2.8 kpc to SN 1572.
