Abstract

We present Herschel Space Observatory far-IR observations of the supernova remnant(SNR) G21.5-0.9. We search PACS-IFU data for 63um [O I], 88um [O III], 157um [C II] emission lines and detect the [O II] and the [C II]. We then produce emission line maps to check the spatial distribution of the elements. We compare the maps to Radio, IR-photometrics, and X-ray images in order to understand interaction of the ejecta with the Pulsar Wind Nebula(PWN) and physical environment in the SNR.
