Abstract
Abstract We present Suzaku results of the mixed-morphology supernova remnant W 28. The X-ray spectra of the central region of W 28 exhibit many bright emission lines from highly ionized atoms. An optically thin thermal plasma in collisional ionization equilibrium, either of single temperature or multi temperatures, failed to reproduce the data with line-like and bump-like residuals at the Si-Ly$ \alpha$ energy and at 2.4–5.0 keV, respectively. The bumps probably correspond to radiative recombination continua from He-like Si and S. A simple recombining plasma model nicely fit the bump structures, but failed to fit low-energy bands. The overall spectra can be fit with a multi–ionization-temperature plasma with a common electron temperature. The multi-ionization temperatures are interpreted as elemental differences of ionization and recombination timescales. These results prefer the rarefaction scenario for the origin of the recombining plasma.
