Daniel Marrone and three colleagues measured the polarization of submillimeter waves from its vicinity, and they set new limits on how much--or rather how little--mass it is accreting: a pathetic 2 x [10.sup.-9] to 2 x [10.sup.-7] solar mass (0.0007 to 0.07 Earth mass) per year.
Soon we had the first-ever submillimeter pictures of both Kepler's remnant and Cas A (shown above) and discovered that both remnants are bright sources of submillimeter waves.
