The observation of the NE rim of the Vela SNR
(
,
) was performed
with the ROSAT PSPC on 1991 April 25. The PSPC field of view is
circular with 
diameter. The spatial resolution is 30
arcsec FWHM at the center of the field of view and 2.7 arcmin FWHM at 45' off-axis.
The spectral resolution is 
at 1 keV. We collected
counts in 3944 seconds exposure time. The optimized
time-screening algorithm described in Bocchino, Barbera & Sciortino
(1996) for elimination of residual non-cosmic PSPC background was run on
the data, resulting in the rejection of 186 seconds
(5% of the exposure time).
For a more detailed description of the observation we refer to Paper I.
