Scientific paper

SN 1006 was shown by ASCA to be of a dual nature, with non-thermal emission coming from the bright limbs and fainter thermal emission coming from the center and the other sides. This is the best example we have of shock acceleration of cosmic-ray electrons to energies approaching the "knee" in the cosmic-ray spectrum. We have analysed the XMM-Newton pointings on SN 1006, and have measured for the first time the radial and azimuthal variations of the synchrotron emission. We propose to map the whole remnant with deeper exposures, allowing spectral analysis at a radial scale of 15" (about the XMM HEW) in the bright limbs and at a spatial scale of 2' in the interior.
