Supernova Remnants:  Then Again
* For the bright galactic remnants,
ASCA offered the opportunity to
map emission line intensities
within the remnant, and to look for
systematic Doppler shifts.
* The first such study was performed
with Cas A, the youngest remnant
in the Milky Way.  The spectrum is
of very high quality, and exhibits
Ne, Fe-L, Si, S, Ar, Ca, and Fe-K
emission.
* The deconvolved Doppler map,
derived primarily from the Si K
lines, indicates a systematic flow.
This confirmed earlier conclusions
drawn from FPCS observations.
