Scientific paper

We propose a 40 ksec XMM observation of the supernova remnant G359.1-0.5. We will measure the column density towards G359.1-0.5, and thus determine whether this remnant may be located at the same distance as, and be associated with, the pulsar known as the Mouse. We will also study the morphology and spectral variations of this mixed-morphology remnant. Mixed-morphology, or thermal composite, remnants show a center-filled morphology that cannot be understood in the standard picture of supernova evolution. We aim to constrain the mechanisms of X-ray production from the center of this remnant, identifying whether thermal conduction, cloudlet evaporation, metallicity gradients or other effects are primarily responsible for the observed center-filled morphology.
