Cassiopeia A, ADS: search title/keyword/abstract or fulltext 3C461 ADS: search title/keyword/abstract or fulltext

• Right Ascension: 23 23 26
• Declination: +58 48
• Size (/arcmin): 5
• Type: S
• Flux density at 1 GHz (/Jy): 2300
• Spectral Index: 0.77

Notes: Presumably the remnant of a late 17th century SN.

Radio: Bright shell with compact knots and extended plateau of emission; shows secular decline.

Optical: Fast knots and quasi-stationary flocculli, with many filaments at large radii, and NE ‘jet’.

X-ray: Incomplete shell, with hard spectral component.

Point sources: Central compact X-ray source.

Distance: Optical expansion gives 3.3 kpc.
