SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 500001
Title: ACIS OBSERVATION OF CAS A
Observer: HOLT
Subject Category: SN, SNR, and isolated NS
Seq: 500001 ObsId: 00114
Long-term Plan bin: 25-Jan-2000
ABSTRACT
We will perform a deep ACIS observation of Cas A. The goals of the observation are to: 1. Produce a broad band map to AXAF's 0.5" intrinsic resolution. 2. Obtain a hard band continuum map with sufficient signal-to-noise to determine the morphology of the synchrotron radiation from the shell. 3. Map out emission from Si, S, Fe lines; look for clumps, or evidence of stratification. 4. Create detailed Doppler map. 5. Measure the expansion rate of the X-ray gas by comparison with ROSAT images. 6. Search for neutron star remnant.
