X-ray spectral analysis of supernova remnant N63A in the large Magellanic cloud

In the master thesis, the Chandra archive data of N63A, which is one of the bright supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud and formed by core collapse, was analyzed and detailed X-ray spectral analyses with spatial resolution were performed. In spectral analyses, in addition to 75 regions in three different radial directions on the remnant, 10 different regions with different properties in X-rays were also examined. As a result of the analyses, electron temperature, ionization time scale, emission scale, element abundance parameters were calculated for the selected regions, and the physical properties and element abundances of the remnant were obtained spatially. The physical structure of the interstellar medium swept-up away by the forward shock was studied as well. The dynamic properties of N63A were determined, the Sedov age has been calculated as approximately 5,500 years and the explosion energy as E0 = 7.251051 erg.
