Scientific paper

X J193214.6+300741 is an intriguing small circular X-ray emitting feature in the Galaxy. The angular size (2.4 arcmin diameter) at a relatively high Galactic latitude of 5.3 degree suggests a small diameter of 7 pc d_{10}, where d_{10} is the distance in units of 10 kpc. This diameter, together with the relatively hard ROSAT PSPC spectrum, indicates that the source is a very young supernova remnant. We propose a 40 ks Chandra ACIS-S observation to obtain a high-resolution image and a high-quality spectrum of this circular feature, in order to tightly constrain its physical parameters and thereby unveil its true nature.
