G327.6+14.6 SN1006, PKS 1459-41

• Right Ascension: 15 02 50
• Declination: -41 56
• Size (/arcmin): 30
• Type: S
• Flux density at 1 GHz (/Jy): 19
• Spectral Index: 0.6

Notes: This is the remnant of the SN of AD1006.

Radio: Shell, with two bright arcs.

Optical: Filaments to the NW, with broad Halpha component.

X-ray: Thermal shell, with non-thermal limb-brightened arcs.

Point sources: The background Schweizer-Middleditch star is near the middle of the remnant.

Distance: Optical spectra and proper motion indicate 1.7-3.1 kpc, modelling spectra gives 1.8±0.3 kpc.
