In this paper, we present the results of the observations of CTB 37A obtained with the X-ray imaging spectrometer onboard the Suzaku satellite. The X-ray spectrum of CTB 37A is fitted well by two components: a single-temperature ionization equilibrium component (VMEKAL), with solar abundances, an electron temperature of kTe similar to 0.6 keV and an absorbing column density of NH similar to 3 x 1022 cm-2, and a power-law component with a photon index of G similar to 1.6. The X-ray spectrum of CTB 37A is characterized by clearly detected K-shell emission lines of Mg, Si, S and Ar. The plasma with solar abundances supports the idea that the X-ray emission originates from the shocked interstellar material. The ambient gas density and the age of the remnant are estimated to be similar to 1f-1/2 cm-3 and similar to 3 x 104f1/2 yr, respectively. The centre-filling X-ray emission, surrounded by a shell-like radio structure, and other X-ray properties indicate that this remnant could be a new member of the class of mixed-morphology supernova remnants.

The first optical light from the supernova remnant G182.4+4.3 located in the Galactic anticentre region
Sezer, A.; GÖK, FATMA; Aktekin, E. (2012-12-01)
We report the discovery of optical filamentary and diffuse emission from G182.4+4.3 using the 1.5-m Russian-Turkish telescope. We present the optical CCD images obtained with the H alpha filter, revealing the presence of mainly filamentary structure to the north-west and filamentary and diffuse structure in the centre, south and north regions of the remnant. The bright optical filaments located in the north-west and south regions are well correlated with the prominent radio shell of the remnant, strongly su...
Discovery of recombining plasma inside the extended gamma-ray supernova remnant HB9
Sezer, A.; Ergin, Tülün; Yamazaki, R.; Sano, H.; Fukui, Y. (2019-11-01)
We present the results from the Suzaku X-ray Imaging Spectrometer observation of the mixed-morphology supernova remnant (SNR) HB9 (G160.9+2.6). We discovered recombining plasma (RP) in the western Suzaku observation region and the spectra here are well described by a model having collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) and RP components. On the other hand, the X-ray spectra from the eastern Suzaku observation region are best reproduced by the CIE and non-equilibrium ionization model. We discuss possible sc...
Suzaku and Fermi observations of the supernova remnant G1.9+0.3
GÖK, FATMA; Ergin, Tülün (2015-10-15)
We present results from the observation of the supernova remnant (SNR) G1.9 + 0.3, which is the youngest known SNR in the Milky Way, with the X-ray imaging spectrometer (XIS) on board Suzaku. We investigate the nature of the X-ray emission and compare our results with the previous X-ray studies. Additionally, we present the analysis results of the GeV gamma-ray data taken for about 6 years by the Large Area Telescope on board Fermi and discuss these results in the framework of existing gamma-ray emission sc...
RECOMBINING PLASMA IN THE GAMMA-RAY-EMITTING MIXED-MORPHOLOGY SUPERNOVA REMNANT 3C 391
Ergin, Tülün; Sezer, A.; Saha, L.; Majumdar, P.; Chatterjee, A.; Bayirli, A.; Ercan, E. N. (2014-07-20)
A group of middle-aged mixed-morphology (MM) supernova remnants (SNRs) interacting with molecular clouds (MCs) has been discovered to be strong GeV gamma-ray emitters by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope (Fermi-LAT). The recent observations of the Suzaku X-ray satellite have revealed that some of these interacting gamma-ray-emitting SNRs, such as IC443, W49B, W44, and G359.1-0.5, have overionized plasmas. 3C 391 (G31.9+ 0.0) is another GalacticMMSNR interacting with...
Suzaku study of the centrally brightened supernova remnant G272.2-3.2
Sezer, A.; GÖK, FATMA (2012-04-01)
In this paper, we present the results from a Suzaku observation of the Galactic supernova remnant G272.2-3.2. The spectra of G272.2-3.2 are well fitted by a single-temperature variable abundance non-equilibrium ionization (VNEI) model with an electron temperature kTe similar to 0.77 keV, an ionization time-scale t similar to 6.5 x 1010 cm-3 s and an absorbing column density NH similar to 1.1 x 1022 cm-2. We have detected enhanced abundances of Si, S, Ca, Fe and Ni in the centre region, indicating that the X...
