Scientific paper

G156.2+5.7 is an X-ray bright, large supernova remnant with evidence for nonthermal X-ray emission from its rims, suggesting the presence of efficient shock acceleration of relativistic particles. It has been recently shown to have an extensive set of Balmer line optical emission that can be used to obtain measurements of the post-shock proton temperature. This proposal aims to obtain EPIC pointings toward each of three separate portions of the rim in order to measure the post-shock electron temperature from the thermal emission at the shock. We will also investigate the morphology and spectral characteristics of the nonthermal X-ray emission.
