G8.7-0.1 is a middle-aged Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) located inside the star-forming region W30. It shows various signs of high energy activity, seen through thermal X-ray radiation as well as through nonthermal high energy (E > 100 MeV) and very high energy (E > 100 GeV) emission. However, a concise picture of the different components seen in the SNR remains elusive, perhaps owing to the large angular size and the location in a crowded and absorbed area on the Galactic plane. We propose to extend our XMM-Newton observations on the Northern SNR shell, with the aim of constraining the shock conditions that led to the peculiar combination of low ionisation state and lack of morphological shock features.
