The southeastern region of the Vela SNR

초록

We investigate the southeastern region of the Vela supernova remnant (SNR) in the multi-wavelength domains. This region is quite interesting because it includes the bullet feature D/D´ and another SNR (the Vela Jr.). The C IV $\lambda\lambda1548$, 1551 emission-line morphologies obtained from the FIMS/SPEAR data show that there are several local peaks of C IV on the bullet D/D´ and the Vela Jr. SNR. This may provide clues to direct interaction between both SNRs. Also, we found that the southeastern side of the Vela is in direct contact with an H-alpha ring feature whose central source seems to be a B-type star, HD 76161. The C IV emission peaks along this contact boundary. We investigate this interacting region in detail.
