Scientific paper

We propose to use broad-band imaging from the CTIO 0.9-m and spectroscopy from the 1.5-m to identify stars which can serve as UV ``lightbulbs'' to probe the ``unshocked'' material in supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud. These observations will provide the basis for future UV observations of these stars with HST. UV absorption studies are important because they represent one of the very few ways to see undecelerated ejecta in the inner regions of young SNRs, as has been shown in the case of SN 1006. More generally, absorption studies provide information about the dynamics and ionization state of a significant constituent of the SNR, namely that portion which is not currently ``shocked''.
