Figure 3: a) The numbered regions have been selected for the spectral analysis of the rim region and the dashed squares have been selected for the spectral analysis of the interior region. The dashed black curves denote the background region for NW and SW observations, respectively. b) A and B are two sets of 10 rectangle regions selected for examination of the possible spectral variation in the radial direction. The named regions of NWb, NWd, SWb and SWd have been selected for estimating absolute fluxes (Sect. 3.3). The apparent circular shape of the inner rim is also depicted. |

Figure 4: Representative spectra obtained by all CCD detectors, MOS1 (black), MOS2 (red) and pn (green) are shown as characteristic examples for the rim region a) and the interior region b). In both a) and b), MOS1 spectra are scaled by a factor 0.5 for clarity. |
