SEARCH FOR THE PULSAR IN THE CYGNUS LOOP
ABSTRACT
We have found the bright X-ray point source in the southern break of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant during the ASCA AO-5 observation phase. We performed the timing analysis by using the GISs but failed to detect the X-ray pulsation. To detect the X-ray pulsation, we propose to observe this point source as soon as possible. This will prove the Cygnus Loop to be type II SN in origin.
