A NEW EVOLUTIONARY PHASE OF SUPERNOVA REMNANT 1987A
We have been monitoring the supernova remnant (SNR) 1987A with Chandra observations since 1999. Here we report on the latest change in the soft X-ray light curve of SNR 1987A. For the last ~1.5 yr (since day ~8000), the soft X-ray flux has significantly flattened, staying (within uncertainties) at f...
