Scientific paper

We propose to map the supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946 (G347.3-0.5) and its complex environment within 8 pointings of 15 ks to investigate what is the most powerful cosmic-ray accelerator actually known. Our objectives are 1) to map and diagnostic accurately the spectral variations of the synchrotron emission and to investigate the origin of the TeV emission (in the northwest), 2) to determine the morphology and spectral characteristics of the X-ray source associated with the northeast cloud (within the EGRET error box) and its relation with the SNR, 3) to compare how particle acceleration proceeds when the SNR is interacting with molecular clouds (in the north) or with tenuous ISM (in the south), 4) to search for the unrevealed thermal emission over the SNR.
