3 Discovery of RXJ0852.0-4622 (Vela Jr.) Above 1.3 keV RX J0852-4622 RX J0852.0-4622 was discovered in the southeastern corner of the Vela SNR ten years ago (Aschenbach 1998). - High energy X-ray emission => Young (<1500 yr) - Low absorption less than 8x10 21 cm -2 => Near (< 1kpc) Puppis A SNR ROSAT all-sky survey 0.1-2.4 keV Aschenbach (1998) Vela SNR

4 44 Ti Decay Line COMPTEL detected  -ray line emission from 44 Ti at the same time of the discovery of this remnant (Iyudin+ 1998). Vela Jr. was the 2 nd object, which showed 44 Ti decay line, following the Cas A SNR. 44 Ti → 44 Sc+2  → 44 Ca+   Very young (~700 yr) & very near (~200 pc)  ~90 yr  ~8 hr 44 Ti  -ray line image @1.157 MeV Iyudin+ (1998) X-ray hard band (Aschenbach 1998) X-ray wideband (Aschenbach 1998)

5 Possible Line Feature @~4keV ~ASCA SIS0 Chip~ K-shell emission line from 44 Ca was detected by the ASCA SIS0 chip (Tsunemi+ 2000). Combining the amount of 44 Ca and the observed flux of 44 Ti, the age of the remnant was estimated to be ~1000 yr.

6 Possible Line Feature @~4keV ~XMM-Newton & Chandra~ The line feature around 4 keV was also detected by XMM- Newton (Iyudin+ 2005) and Chandra (Bamba+ 2005). The flux derived by XMM-Newton was consistent with that estimated by ASCA within a factor of ~2, supporting the young age.

7 Doubts for the Young Age and the Near Distance Reanalysis of the COMPTEL data => The 44 Ti  -ray emission was only 2-4  level (Schonfelder+ 2000). No line feature around 4 keV by ASCA except for SIS0 (Slane+ 2001). =>Are emission lines related to 44 Ti really significant? Also, is this remnant really young? Higher absorption than that for the Vela SNR (Slane+ 2001). =>Is this remnant really near?

20 Probable NON Detection of the 44 Ti Line Age Effect: the newly determined age, 1700-4300 yr, is at least 2.5 times larger than the previous estimation of 700 yr. => The initial amount of 44 Ti should be 10,000 times larger than that estimated previously (Iyudin+ 1998). Distance Effect: the distance estimated here is about 4 times larger than the previous estimation of 200 pc. => The initial amount of 44 Ti should be 16 times larger than that estimated previously (Iyudin+ 1998). The initial amount of 44 Ti must be at least 1.6x10 5 times larger than that estimated in the paper by Iyudin+ (1998). => The COMPTEL detection of the  -ray line at 1.157 MeV seems to have no relation to Vela Jr. 44 Ti  -ray line image Iyudin+ (1998)

21 Possible Relation to the Point Source Slane+ (2001) ASCA GIS 0.7-10keV AX J0851.9-4617.4 -- AX J0851.9-4617.4 -- - Distance: Larger than that for the Vela SNR (Slane+ 2001; Kargaltsev+ 2002). - Age: ~ A few 10 3 yr (Kargaltsev+ 2002). => Consistent at least qualitatively with the distance we estimated for Vela Jr. => Consistent with the age we estimated for Vela Jr. It is likely that this point source is a stellar remnant (CCO) left behind the SN explosion which produced Vela Jr.

The situation of a cavity SN explosion is required (Aharonian+ 2007), which is consistent with the existence of the CCO.  0 -decay

23 Summary We have measured a proper-motion in the northwestern rim of RX J0852.0-4622 (Vela Jr.). The proper-motion is measured to be 0.84”±0.23” yr -1, which is about only 1/7 of that expected for the free expansion. We have measured a proper-motion in the northwestern rim of RX J0852.0-4622 (Vela Jr.). The proper-motion is measured to be 0.84”±0.23” yr -1, which is about only 1/7 of that expected for the free expansion. Using the measured proper-motion, the age and the distance are estimated to be 1700-4300 yr and at least 750 pc, respectively. Using the measured proper-motion, the age and the distance are estimated to be 1700-4300 yr and at least 750 pc, respectively. 44 Ti: the new age and distance strongly suggest that the emission lines associated with 44 Ti are not related to this remnant. 44 Ti: the new age and distance strongly suggest that the emission lines associated with 44 Ti are not related to this remnant. Point Source: the new age and distance are consistent with those for AX J0851.9-4617.4, supporting the idea that the point source is a stellar remnant of a SN explosion which produced Vela Jr. Point Source: the new age and distance are consistent with those for AX J0851.9-4617.4, supporting the idea that the point source is a stellar remnant of a SN explosion which produced Vela Jr.

Burgess & Zuber (1999) proposed that the unidentified spike matched that for Vela Jr. (~700 yrs ago). => Age is determined to be 680 +/- 20 yr. Burgess & Zuber (1999) Vela Jr. ?

25 Expansion Index, m (R ∝ t m ), = (Expansion Rate) x (Age). m = 1 (free expansion), 0.4 (Sedov), 0.25 (snowplow)… Vela Jr. is NOT so Young 5 ☆ : Cygnus Loop (Blair+ 2005) 4 ☆ : SN 1006 (Moffett+ 1993) 1 ☆ : Cas A (e.g., Vink+ 1998) 2 ☆ : Kepler (Katsuda+ 2008; Vink 2008) 3 ☆ : Tycho (Hughes 2000) m=1 (free expansion) m=0.25 (snowplow) Vela Jr. (This work) m=0.4 (Sedov) 1 2 3 4 5 1700±440 yr 4300±1200 yr

26 Note. Note that there is a possibility for explaining the current low expansion rate without any modifications of the young age of ~700 yr. Recent rapid deceleration of the shock in the northeastern rim might be the case. But, more straightforward interpretation is simply because this remnant is not so young (~700 yr), but around 1700-4300 yr. Cloud or Cavity wall
