Scientific paper

The Cygnus Loop has been imaged completely in X-rays by the ROSAT PSPC All-Sky Survey with low spectral resolution. ASCA spectral observations have yielded interesting results for specific areas of the Cygnus Loop, such as the northeast rim, which have been modeled by (dynamically) simple non-equilibrium ionization models. Here a bright region on the southwest rim has been identified using ROSAT PSPC data which shows the strongest spectral variation in the Cygnus Loop. The AXAF ACIS-I field of 16 by 16 arcmin is large enough to encompass this field, allowing spatially resolved spectroscopy which can yield an entirely new perspective on the state of the plasma and on the dynamics in the Cygnus Loop.
