Scientific paper

The study of young supernova remnants (SNRs) is important for understanding the particle acceleration that leads to cosmic ray production, for learning about supernova explosions, and for using energetic pulsars to constrain high energy emission mechanisms. IGR J17448-3232 is a SNR candidate that would be one of only three SNRs that have been discovered by the INTEGRAL satellite in the hard X-ray band. The evidence that the source is a SNR comes from short Chandra and Swift exposures that show a source that is several arcminutes in size. The evidence that it is young comes from its very hard X-ray spectrum. We propose for an XMM-Newton observation to determine the morphology and spectral properties of the extended emission.
