Gebel, W.L., and S.N. Shore, 1972: On the nature of the Monoceros supernova remnant. Astrophys. J. Lett., 172, L9-L12, doi:10.1086/180879.

A dynamical expansion time of 3×105 years and an envelope of 100 km/s are derived for the filamentary Monoceros Loop supernova remnant. Through arguments connecting three 0 stars with the supernova remnant, a lower limit of 25-30 M☉ is derived for the progenitor star. A thermal soft X-ray point source located at α(1950) = 6h35m5, δ(1950) = +6°28' is predicted based on the hypothesis of a cooling neutron star. By analogy, we interpret the Cygnus Loop X-ray source as a neutron star.
