Here's is Winkler and Petre's published article, and Chandra press release:Do I understand correctly that:
  • The "pulsar" has an "apparent lack of pulsations"?
  • The oxygen-rich ejecta is characterised with filamentary structure and knots?
  • The oxygen-rich cloud is ionized (negatively) and moving north-west. The neutron core ("presumed", RX J0822–4300) may have a hydrogen atmosphere (presumably ionized positively), and moving south-east. (see the Arxiv.org paper), though other papers suggest it is hydrogen deficient,[ref]
I also note that:
  • The x-ray emission from the core is derived from the synchrotron process [ref]
