Scientific paper

We wish to obtain both SWP and LWR large aperture spectra of a young, oxygenrich supernova remnant in the Small Magellanic Cloud. These data will be used in conjunction with various theoretical calculations to (1) derive the physical conditions of the emitting gas, (2) find the abundances of carbon and silicon relative, to oxygen, and (3) estimate the mass of the precursor star that created this remnant. Optical data indicate that the reddening toward the remnant is low (E(B-V) < 0.05), and shock models are used to demonstrate the feasibility of detecting this remnant with IUE.
