Scientific paper

SN1987A provides a unique opportunity to study the development of a young supernova remnant at high resolution. We have monitored SN1987A at roughly six month cadence since Chandra AO1. The remnant is expanding and is increasing rapidly in brightness, with a factor of six-fold increase since AO1. We propose to continue this monitoring program with two 50 ks observations in AO5, spaced six months apart. The remnant is now bright enough that these observations will permit spatially-resolved spectra in addition to monitoring the expansion, the development of new X-ray hot spots, and searching for a compact object.
