Abstract

Aims. We investigate the spatial distribution of dust emission around Tycho's SNR to understand its origin. We distinguish the dust associated with the SNR from that of the surrounding ISM. Methods. We performed mid- to far-infrared imaging observations of the remnant at wavelengths of 9, 15, 18, 24, 65, 90, 140, and 160 μm using the Infrared Camera and the Far-Infrared Surveyor onboard AKARI. We compared the AKARI images with the Suzaku X-ray image and the 12CO image of Tycho's SNR. Results. All the AKARI images except the 9, 140, and 160 μm band images show a shell-like emission structure with brightness peaks at the northeast (NE) and northwest (NW) boundaries, sharply outlining part of the X-ray shell.â€
