The cold dust content of the oxygen-rich supernova remnant G292.0+1.8.

GHAVAMIAN P. and WILLIAMS B.J.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present far-infrared images of the Galactic oxygen-rich supernova remnant (SNR) G292.0+1.8, acquired with the PACS and SPIRE instruments of the Herschel Space Observatory. We find that the SNR shell is detected in the PACS blue (100 µm) band, but not in the red (160 µm) band, broadly consistent with results from AKARI observations. There is no discernible emission from G292.0+1.8 in SPIRE imagery at 250, 350 and 500 µm. Comparing the 100 µm emission to that observed with Spitzer at 24 and 70 µm, we find a very similar appearance for G292.0+1.8 at all three wavelengths. The infrared emission is dominated by dust from non-radiative circumstellar shocks. In addition, the radiatively shocked O-rich clump known as the "Spur" on the eastern side of G292.0+1.8 is clearly detected in the PACS blue images, with marginal detection in the red. Fitting the existing 14-40 µm IRS spectra of the Spur together with photometric measurements from 70 µm MIPS and 100 µm PACS photometry, we place an upper limit of \lesssim0.04M of ejecta dust mass in the Spur, under the most conservative assumption that the ejecta dust has a temperature of 15 K. Modeling the dust continuum in the IRS spectra at four positions around the rim, we estimate post-shock densities ranging from np=3.5 cm–3 to 11 cm–3. The integrated spectrum of the entire SNR, dominated by swept-up circumstellar dust, can be fitted with a two-component dust model with a silicate component at 62 K and graphite component at 40 K for a total dust mass of 0.023 M.
