Scientific paper

We propose to continue our X-ray studies of Type II and Type Ib/c supernovae (SNe). The Swift satellite has ushered in a new era of studying SNe in the X-rays, obtaining densely sampled X-ray lightcurves for the first time. However, its spatial resolution is often not good enough to separate a SN from nearby sources. We propose short Chandra observations to alleviate this. These observations will assess the X-ray environment of newly discovered Swift SNe to determine any possible source confusion or contamination of the SN flux. Our strategy makes the best use of the capabilities of each observatory.
