Vela Jr. is one of the youngest and likely nearest among the known galactic
supernova remnants (SNRs). Discovered in 1997 it has been studied since then at
quite a few wavelengths, that spread over almost 20 decades in energy. Here we
present and discuss Vela Jr. properties revealed by these multiwavelength
observations, and confront them with the SNR model expectations. Questions that
remained unanswered at the time of publication of the paper of Iyudin et al.
(2005), e.g. what is the nature of the SNR's proposed central compact source
CXOU J085201.4-461753, and why is the ISM absorption column density apparently
associated with RX J0852.0-4622 much greater than the typical column of the
Vela SNR, can be addressed using the latest radio and X-ray observations of
Vela Jr.. These, and other related questions are addressed in the following.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures. Accepted for publication in ESA SP-622,
