摘要
Based on the data from the ASCA observation of SNRs Kes79 and W49B, we present here the analysis of their X-ray spectra and morphologies. The Kes79 spectrum can be well fitted by a single NEI component, and the narrow-band images of that source show an inhomogeneous distribution of heavy elements. The heavy elements are richest in the positions S, SE and SW of Kes79, where there may exist interaction between shocks and molecular clouds implied by radio observations. For W49B we present here the nonequilibrium ionization (NEI) analysis based on its emission line diagnostics, and the spectral fit using two NEI components. The reverse shock in W49B may be still hot and we don't find evidence for a hotter blast wave in ASCA spectra. (C) 2000 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
