Scientific paper

We propose to study two small-diameter Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) with well-defined radio shells suggestive of young age, and radio surface brightnesses greater than SN 1006. X-ray spectral and morphological analysis should provide reliable ages, and show if these remnants really are young and can help fill the gap between inferred SN rates and known SNRs. Little is known about these remnants; both have been detected in X-rays, but neither was resolved. We expect to obtain about 5000 counts each, sufficient for moderate-resolution imaging and spatially resolved spectroscopy. We should be able to identify shell emission, and obtain ages; identify central emission,discriminate possible pulsar-wind nebulae or compact objects, and characterize any ejecta emission.
