Scientific paper

We propose to survey the 11 brightest, unstudied, RASS-detected SNR candidates that fit within the ACIS-I field of view. We will use the 3 to 30 ks exposures to determine if the objects are supernova remnants, and if so, measure their spectral characteristics (temperature, abundance), details of their morphology (angular size) and their expansion velocity. We will search the images for for an associated compact object and, depending on the number of recorded counts, determine the spectrum and search for time variability. This study will significantly enhance the known sample of SNR that show weak radio emission and provide insight into the structure and composition of the ISM. Follow-up radio continuum and linear polarization observations, and optical studies will be performed.
