Scientific paper

W51B+C is one of the few regions in the Galaxy where we can study the formation of massive stars and the consequence of their violent explosions simultaneously. It is composed of an active star forming region, W51B, and an old SNR, W51C. There is strong evidence suggesting that the SNR is interacting with the star-forming molecular clouds. We propose 2 short pointings at the central region of the SNR to search for pulsars and evaporating molecular clumps. A third pointing at the adjacent star-forming region W51B will locate stellar X-ray sources, and will distinguish the X-rays associated with the star-forming region from the X-rays associated with the SNR.
