Scientific paper

The detection of ejecta emission in mature supernova remnants can allow the determination of explosion type. This is important for understanding the genesis and evolution of the interstellar medium in galaxies. The Large Magellanic Cloud offers an excellent sample of SNRs at a known distance with little extinction. We propose to observe three remnants in the LMC, 0520-69.4, 0528-69.2, and DEM L241, with XMM-Newton. The spectral resolution of XMM-Newton should allow us to separate reverse shock heated ejecta emission from ISM material heated by the outer blast wave. By performing spatially- resolved spectroscopy on the limb and central regions, our goal is to find evidence of ejecta and determine their chemical composition.
