Scientific paper

Ejecta fragments from the nearby Vela supernova remnant provide a unique opportunity to examine supernova ejecta as they shock and finally merge into the interstellar medium (ISM). "Fragment D" is the largest and brightest such feature. We propose to map the distribution of the enriched material using four pointings covering the adjacent bow shock, the tail (including a peculiar "spur"shaped feature) and the adjacent SNR rim. The rim includes portions of a bright irregular ring which may be part of the transient "exit wound" produced by the interaction of the fragment with the shell. In combination with the existing pointing, these data will provide a much more complete picture of the interaction of an ejecta fragment with the SNR shell and the surrounding ISM.
