Scientific paper

We propose a deep Chandra pointing at the south rim of the Galactic supernova remnant G266.2-1.2. This Chandra observation will resolve the structure of a nonthermal filament and also explore the morphology of a diffuse feature which is apparently over-abundant in O, Ne, and Mg. We will compare this high-resolution image to the nonthermal filament in the NW rim. We will determine the upstream and downstream scale widths of the filament from the image and determine the cut-off frequency of the synchrotron emission from the spectra. These values will then be interpreted in the context of the Diffuse Shock Acceleration models to constrain the amplification of the magnetic field, the cosmic ray acceleration efficiency, and the maximum energy of the particles.
