Exposure-corrected images of Vela in 16 narrow bands of ascending energy. The image in each band was smoothed with a 2.5′ Gaussian kernel. The upper right corner of each panel denotes the displayed energy band, whereas, in the lower left corner, we indicate strong spectral lines expected to contribute to the emission in the respective band. The color bar underneath each panel indicates the logarithmic range of the displayed count rate, specified in units of ct s⁻¹ keV⁻¹ arcmin⁻².
