Scientific paper

Recent observations of supernova remnants (SNR) with the Spitzer Space Telescope revealed that thermal dust emission dominates their infrared (IR) spectra. IR emission was detected mostly in X-ray bright SNRs, but it is also present in several older and fainter SNRs. We propose an X-ray study of two such IR remnants, 0453.1-66.55 and DEM L204. The origin of IR emission and the nature of these SNRs are not understood. X-ray imaging with the XMM-Newton EPIC camera will reveal location of the hot gas relative to optical and IR emission, allowing us to understand the origin of the IR emission. X-ray spectroscopy will provide as with temperatures and abundances of the hot gas. We will learn about dust content, energetics, and the evolutionary state of these unusual infrared SNRs.
