Scientific paper

The CMa R1 region includes the arc-shaped ionized nebula S2-296, suggested to be an old supernova remnant, as well as several very young (less than 5 Myr) clusters. Based on archival ROSAT observations covering nearly 5 sq. deg. we have discovered a new, 10Myr old cluster that may be a fossil from a distinct, past star-formation episode, suggesting sequential star formation between supernova cavities. We propose a mosaic of 5 x 30ks EPIC fields to reveal a mixed population from both older and young clusters corresponding respectively to a fossil, and to an onging, star formation episode.
