Supernova remnant and neutron star, X-ray image
Supernova remnant and neutron star, X-ray image. The supernova remnant 1E 0102.2-7219 surrounds a neutron star in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in this X-ray image from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO). When combined with MUSE (Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) data from the European Southern Observatory (ESO)'s Very Large Telescope (VLT), the blue dot just below centre is shown to be an isolated neutron star with a weak magnetic field, the first identified outside the Milky Way. The Small Magellanic Cloud is around 200, 000 light years from Earth, with this supernova remnant in the constellation of Tucana. This image was obtained with the ACIS (Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer) sensor on the CXO. Image published in 2018. See also images C040/2808 and C040/2809.
