Coupled with Astrosat/SXT data, and archival optical data, we examine segments of the loop to trace shock-ISM interaction, and determine the physical properties of UV-bright gases trapped between the Balmer dominated shocked filaments, and the x-ray hot gases trapped within the Cygnus "bubble". We use our results to explore the possibility that this SNR comprises of the remnants of multiple historical supernovae explosions. |
