Abstract

Nishikida et al. (2006) presented the first far-ultraviolet (FUV) em${\lambda}$ission-line images of the Vela supernova remnant (SNR) obtained with FIMS/SPEAR instrument. Those include C III ${\lambda}$977, O VI ${\lambda}{\lambda}$1032, 1038, Si IV+O IV] ${\lambda}{\lambda}$1393, 1403 (un-resolved), C IV ${\lambda}{\lambda}$1548, 1551 emission-line images. As a following work, we re-constructed these emission-line images using the new-version processed FIMS/SPEAR data. Additionally, we made N IV] ${\lambda}$1486, He II ${\lambda}$1640.5, O III] ${\lambda}{\lambda}$1661, 1666 emission-line images. The new-version images cover the whole region of the Vela SNR and show more resolved features than the old-version. We compare these FUV emission-line images with other wavelength (X-ray, optical, etc.) images obtained in previous studies.
