Scientific paper

We propose to obtain a very deep observation of the Tycho supernova remnant. Our observational goals include measuring the angular expansion of the forward shock and contact discontinuity, investigating the nature and origin of Fe-rich ejecta knots, and studying the spectral structure of the forward shock. For the expansion measurement we will compare to an existing Chandra observation taken in cycle 4 that was specifically optimized for subsequent expansion measurements. Tycho is the ideal remnant for studies of cosmic-ray modified dynamics and investigating key features of Type Ia supernova physics.
