Scientific paper

The Crab Nebula is unique among supernova remnants in that there is no evidence for rapidly moving debris from the explosion. We propose to search for an outer shock with sensitivity 10-100 times that of previous X-ray observations. If found, the properties of the shock will determine properties of the progenitor star. Chandra is very well suited for this observation. We will also obtain an excellent image of the dust halo. Properties of the interstellar grains and their distribution can be derived.
