Scientific paper

The fundamental processes of nucleosynthesis that take place deep within the cores of massive stars are hidden from our scrutiny until the stars explode as supernovae. Young supernova remnants {SNRs} allow us to examine material from the cores of massive stars directly, leading to observational tests of theories for stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis, and the chemical enrichment of the ISM in galaxies. We will image two young SNRs in the Magellanic Clouds {N132D in the LMC and 1E0102.2-7219 in the SMC} using wide filters on the ACS Wide Field Channel in order to capture the full velocity range of the expanding debris field. These images will identify the brightest ejecta knots for follow-up UV/optical spectroscopy and can be compared to X-ray images to determine the locations of shock waves.
