Scientific paper

We propose to observe one of the brightest known X-ray emitting supernovae, SN 1979C, to study the temperature evolution of the forward and reverse shock, establish the physical parameters of the ambient CSM out to radii of E18cm from the site of the explosion, and to monitor the mass-loss rate over 18,000 yrs in the progenitors stellar wind history. The observation will further allow, for the first time, to witness the transition from a SN to its SNR phase. The high-resolution ACIS-S data of the host galaxy M100 will also be used to uniquely identify the X-ray sources in the galaxy, including ultra-luminous X-ray sources, by correlating their positions with available optical/UV/radio data, and by performing timing and spectroscopic studies.
