Scientific paper

SNR1987A provides a unique opportunity to study the development of a young supernova remnant at high resolution. We have monitored SN/SNR1987A at roughly six month intervals since October 1999. The remnant is expanding and is increasing exponentially in X-ray brightness. We propose to continue this monitoring program with two additional observations in AO9, spaced six months apart. We will perform spatially-resolved spectroscopy in addition to monitoring the expansion and the development of new X-ray hot spots. We do not consider this proposal to conflict with the proposed HRC observations, since our science requires the energy resolution of the ACIS.
