SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 500012
Title: ACIS STUDY OF THE LMC SUPERNOVA REMNANT N103B
Observer: FEIGELSON
Subject Category: SN, SNR, and isolated NS
Seq: 500012 ObsId: 00125
Long-term Plan bin: 30-Nov-1999
ABSTRACT
N103B = SNR 509.0-68.7, one of the radio and X-ray brightest supernova remnants (SNRs) in the LMC, is a remnant of a Type Ia supernova explosion (carbon deflagration of a white dwarf). One side encounters a giant HII complex while the other side is freely expanding. With a known distance and low absorption, it provides an excellent oportunity to explore early SNR evolution. This ACIS observation will give spatially-resolved spectra. The elemental abundances and ionization state of the bright X-ray clumps (ejecta?) will be resolved from the more diffuse shell (blast wave?) emission.
