Scientific paper

The N19 HII complex in the Small Magellanic Cloud offers an unrivaled opportunity to study an active HII region as a coherent whole. It contains several supernova remnants (SNRs) within a small spatial extent, which enables us to examine these SNRs in the physical context of their surroundings. We propose Chandra ACIS observations to spatially resolve individual X-ray features in the complex; obtain spectra for each spatial component; and determine the actual number and distribution of SNRs in N19. These X-ray data will also help to constrain physical properties of the SNRs, such as progenitor populations, energetics, and ages. The results will extend our knowledge of SNR evolution within the kind of complex regions that may eventually form superbubbles.
