Dem L241, Xmm-Newton Proposal 02053801

Scientific paper

The discovery of SN1006-like SNRs indicates that the SNR shells accelerate cosmic rays up to 100TeV. The number of such SNRs are however still sparse and limited in our Galaxy. The next step must be made by the discovery of an extra- Galactic "SN1006". We propose to observe the best candidate, DEML241 in the LMC. It shows shell-like structure and non-thermal component like SN1006. However, poor spatial resolution and statistics of previous instruments prevent us from confirming that DEML241 is an SN1006-like SNR. From the fine spectroscopy and morphology study of DEML241 with XMM, we must find non-thermal emission from the shell of DEML241 and confirm the SNR as the "SN1006" in the LMC, which is a big step to start a quantitative study of cosmic ray acceleration.
