Scientific paper

We propose deep imaging of the full extents of the young supernova remnants SN1006, Tycho, and G292.0+1.8. These images are optimized for proper motion measurements for which Chandra's superb angular resolution is uniquely suited and will yield significant results when compared to earlier Chandra, ROSAT, and Einstein images. The new X-ray data, in conjunction with our new radio observations, will address questions concerning the physics of ultra-high-Mach-number collisionless shocks, the efficiency of cosmic-ray acceleration, the dynamics of ejecta-dominated SNRs, and the small-scale structure of SN ejecta. These observations will serve as a legacy of the Chandra mission and will provide invaluable data for future research on SNRs and cosmic rays.
