G315.4−2.3 ADS: search fulltext or title/keyword/abstract

RCW 86, MSH 14−63

• Right Ascension: 14 43 00
• Declination: −62 30
• Size (/arcmin): 42
• Type: S
• Flux density at 1 GHz (/Jy): 49
• Spectral Index: 0.6

Notes: Possibly the remnant of the SN of AD185?

Radio: Shell, brightest to the SW.

Optical: Bright, radiative filaments, with some faint Balmer dominated filaments.

X-ray: Partial shell, with thermal and non-thermal emission.

Point sources: Several X-ray sources.

Distance: Optical observations imply 2.3 kpc, optical extinction suggest <2 kpc.
