The radio spectral index of the Vela supernova remnant.

ALVAREZ H., APARICI J., MAY J. and REICH P.

Abstract (from CDS):

We have calculated the integrated flux densities of the different components of the Vela SNR between 30 and 8400MHz. The calculations were done using the original brightness temperature maps found in the literature, a uniform criterion to select the background temperature, and a unique method to compute the integrated flux density. We have succeeded in obtaining separately, and for the first time, the spectrum of Vela Y and Vela Z. The index of the flux density spectrum of Vela X, Vela Y and Vela Z are -0.39, -0.70 and -0.81, respectively. We also present a map of brightness temperature spectral index over the region, between 408 and 2417MHz. This shows a circular structure in which the spectrum steepens from the centre (Vela X) towards the periphery (Vela Y and Vela Z). X-ray observations show also a circular structure. We compare our spectral indices with those previously published.
