Scientific paper

The centers of "mixed morphology" supernova remnants are surprisingly bright in thermal X-rays. To explain this mystery, multiple explanations have been proposed. Each has wide ranging ramifications. We propose to examine these issues using observations of W44, the best case-study candidate. Chandra images will resolve the remnant's small scale structure, putatively associated with evaporating clouds. Computer modeling with a detailed hydrodynamic code shows that the emission line structure of Chandra spectra will easily indicate the ionizational properties of the X-ray producing gas, thus distinguishing between hypotheses and placing needed limits on the allowed rates of thermal conduction, cloud evaporation, and ejecta mixing.
