Scientific paper

We propose to image the young supernova remnant SNR1987A on the ACIS-S3 detector with an observation of 100 ks. This observation will provide an image with approximately 7000 counts which can be deconvolved in order to resolve the X-ray morphology. We will also determine the relative contributions of fast shocks (from the blast wave) and slow shocks (from hotspots in the circumstellar ring) to the X-ray emission as a function of location in the image by investigating the spatial dependence of the pulse height spectra. This observation will provide a statistically reliable baseline which will be used to assess future changes in both the X-ray morphology and spectrum.
