G327.6+14.6     SN1006, PKS 1459−41

• Right Ascension: 15 02 50
• Declination: −41 56
• Size (/arcmin): 30
• Type: S
• Flux density at 1 GHz (/Jy): 19

Notes: This is the remnant of the SN of AD1006.

Radio: Shell, with two bright arcs.

Optical: Filaments to the NW, with broad Hα component.

X-ray: Thermal shell, with non-thermal limb-brightened arcs.

Point sources: The background Schweizer–Middleditch star is near the middle of the remnant.

Distance: Optical spectra and proper motion indicate 2.2 kpc.
