Multi-wavelength composite image of Tycho's supernova remnant

Multi-wavelength composite image of Tycho's supernova remnant. The infrared radiation emitted by warm dust (in red) is visible outlining the expanding high temperature plasma sphere detected in X-rays (in blue). The distribution of interstellar molecular clouds observed in radio is shown in green.

Results: Formation of dust in the supernova remnant investigated with infrared and X-ray observations: seeds of life generated from ball of fire. (in Japanese)
