SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 500009
Title: MONITORING OF SN 1987A
Observer: FEIGELSON
Subject Category: SN, SNR, and isolated NS
Seq: 500009 ObsId: 00122
Long-term Plan bin: 16-Jan-2000
ABSTRACT
Over the next decade, the shock front from the supernova explosion SN 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud will interact with a comlex environment. The X-ray emission is likely to brighten and change in various ways as the shock encounters the dense ring, HII region and red giant wind. Regular monitoring of the source throughout the duration of the AXAF mission is needed to test models of remnant evolution, nonequilibrium ionization processes and elemental abundances.
