Scientific paper

G292.0+1.8 is the only Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) known to exhibit all the expected characteristics of a core-collapse SNR: stellar ejecta enriched in oxygen, an active pulsar and its wind nebula, and evidence for blast wave interaction with circumstellar material. G292.0+1.8 thus provides an invaluable opportunity for the study of nucleosynthesis and the shock evolution of core-collapse SNRs. We have commenced such a study with our initial Chandra observations of G292.0+1.8. In order to continue the study of this important object, we propose a Chandra Large Project (LP) of G292.0+1.8. The proposed observations will probe the structure of this SNR in unprecedented detail, and will provide an ideal complementary program to the existing Chandra Very Large Project of Cassiopeia A.
