Image of supernova remnant 0509-67.5, with compass arrows, scale bar, and color key for reference.
The north and east compass arrows show the orientation of the image on the sky. Note that the relationship between north and east on the sky (as seen from below) is flipped relative to direction arrows on a map of the ground (as seen from above).
The color key shows which filters from Hubble's ACS (Advanced Camera for Surveys) and WFC3 (Wide Field Camera 3) instruments were used when collecting the light.

| About The Data | |
| Data Description | The optical image was created from Hubble data from proposals: : J. Hughes, J. Warren, and L. Hovey (Rutgers University), C. Badenes (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel), C. Smith (NOAO/CTIO), J. Vink (Space Research Organization, Netherlands), and P. Ghavamian (STScI); : K. Noll, Z. Levay, M. Livio, H. Bond, C. Christian, L. Frattare, M. Mutchler, and T. Borders (Hubble Heritage Team/STScI). The X-ray data are from the CXO proposals: 776, 7635, 8554: NASA/CXC/SAO/ J.Hughes et al. |
| Instrument | HST>ACS/WFC, HST>WFC3/UVISl, and Chandra>ACIS |
| Filters | HST: F475W (g), F555W (V), F658N (H-alpha+[N II]), and F814W (I) CXO: 0.2-1.5 keV and 1.5-7 keV |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | This image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the WFC3 and ACS instruments on HST, and the ACIS instrument on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Several filters were used to sample broad and narrow wavelength ranges along with X-ray energy frequencies. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Orange: F814W (I) Red: F658N (H-alpha+[N II]) Light green: F555W (V) Purple: F475W (g) Green: 0.2-1.5 keV Blue: 1.5-7 keV |
