This study examines the chemical abundances of SN 1006, the youngest Galactic Type Ia Supernova Remnant. The analysis reveals unusual plasma characteristics and non-equilibrium between electron and ionization temperatures.

Old record from Asia and Arabia 明月記(Kyoto):寛弘三年四月二日(= 5/1)如螢惑(like Mars) Ibn al-Jawzi (Baghdad) : A large star similar to Venus appeared to the left of qibla. at the beginning of the month of Sha’ban (=5/3). Ali ibn Ridwan(Egypt) : 2.5 to 3 times as large as Venus. The intensity of its light was a little more than a quarter of that moonlight.

High Temperature Plasmas in SN1006 Discovery of Ar, Ca and Fe Lines Black : FI-CCD Red : BI-CCD This spectrum is very unusual, hence can not be applied by the conventional plasma code. What is unusual, what is the difference between this plasma and those in the other SNRs ? In normal cases, we can determine the chemical compositions using the conventional plasma code. The plasma code has been made based on the laboratory plasma physics. However,
H-like oxygen He-like oxygen 730eV 920eV 575eV 672eV 820eV He-like Kα: 570eV H-like Lyα :650eV He-Kβat 670 eV We found Kγ、Kδlines at 730 eV and 820 eV This is very surprising (no plasma code !) High electron temperature (kTe ~ 1.5 [keV] ), but Low ionization states (kTi ~ 0.15 [keV]) If we see this spectrum in the other SNRs, most of the X-ray Astronomers believe that these two-lines are He-like and H-like Ka. This, in fact, is true for any other SNRs.

Conclusion • We discovered Ar, Ca and Fe Lines for the first • time • (2) We found extremely non-equilibrium between • electron temperature and ionization temperature. • (3) The ejecta consists of two plasma components: • One has almost identical abundance profile to • that of the theoretical prediction of type Ia SNR, • and the other has lower abundance in Fe. • The former would be due to an inner part of the • SNR and the latter is due to an outer part.
