Fig. 1.
Chandra three-color image of Kepler’s SNR, binned with 3″ and smoothed with a Gaussian kernel of 9″. The scale is in square root. North is up and east is to the left. The red, green, and blue images are made using the energy bands containing Si K emission (1.78–1.93 keV), O K emission (0.50–0.70 keV), and Fe K emission (6.20–6.70 keV), respectively. The white circles indicate where we extract spectra to generate the radial profiles in figure 3. (Color online)
