The Cygnus Loop is the prototype shell-like supernova remnant (SNR) and one of the brighest SNRs in X-ray wavelength. We have observed the entire Cygnus Loop with the X-ray satellite, ASCA. Its large apparent size, high surface brightness, and low absorption features have made the Cygnus Loop to be an ideal target for the study of the spatially-resolved spectroscopic structure in detail. Part of this work was summarized in Miyata (1996). Here, we present the first X-ray image of the Cygnus Loop obtained with ASCA.
