Abstract
Supernova remnants are products of supernova explosions, which are usually observed in the X-ray band. However, the diffuse emission from the galactic supernova remnant G28.8+1.5 has been overlooked following initial searches for pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae. This paper presents background-subtracted imaging and spatial-resolved spectral analyses using archival XMM-Newton data to reveal unprecedented details of the diffuse emission, providing updated estimates of distance and age. For the first time, an iron overabundance is revealed and the progenitor is suggested to be 9–15 M⊙. These findings refine our understanding of G28.8+1.5 and contribute to a broader comprehension of the Galactic supernova remnant family.
期刊介绍:
The Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP), the technical journal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), has been published regularly since 1889, and is an integral part of the ASP''s mission to advance the science of astronomy and disseminate astronomical information. The journal provides an outlet for astronomical results of a scientific nature and serves to keep readers in touch with current astronomical research. It contains refereed research and instrumentation articles, invited and contributed reviews, tutorials, and dissertation summaries.
