The Composite Form of the Supernova Remnant 3C 400.2: Two Interacting Supernova Remnants or a Single Supernova Remnant with a Blow-Out?. (2006). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 42(2), 241-249. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/2006rmxaa..42..241a

Abstract

3C 400.2 is a galactic supernova remnant with a complex morphology consisting of two overlapping shells of different diameters: a large shell to the southeastern side and a small shell to the northwestern side. In order to decide whether this morphology is due to two supernova explosions or to the blow-out of one supernova explosion in a medium with a density gradient, we study the kinematics of both shells. H α Fabry-Perot data are more in agreement with the scenario of only one supernova explosion undergoing a blow-out due to a density gradient in clumpy media.
