N49 is a bright supernova remnant (SNR) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) showing complex substructures in X-rays, and thus is an excellent laboratory for the detailed study of the shock evolution in a clumpy environment. On the other hand, the origin (core-collapse vs thermonuclear explosion) of this SNR is unknown. Chandra ACIS observations provide a unique opportunity to study the metal-rich ejecta and shocked ISM, which will be useful to reveal the SNR origin and to study the detailed shock evolution process over a wide range of thermal states. Thus, we propose a 120 ks ACIS observation of SNR N49.
