Scientific paper

The Puppis A supernova remnant is interacting with interstellar clouds along its eastern border. The brightest feature in the remnant (the Bright Eastern Knot) is a recently shock interstellar cloud, while a large HI and CO cloud abuts the remnant's entire eastern border to the north. Existing Chandra X-ray observations of small, isolated fields in this region reveal spectral structures that involve a complicated mixture of temperature, ionization, and column density effects. We propose five mosaicked ACIS-I observations of the entire eastern region to obtain a global picture of the shock interaction.
