Chandra Proposal Id #06500694

Scientific paper

We propose a deep Chandra/ACIS observation of an oxygen-rich supernova remnant (SNR) 0540-69.3 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). O-rich SNRs provide a useful laboratory for the study of core-collapse SN nucleosynthesis and thus have been intensively studied in X-rays. SNR 0540-69.3 is however a noteworthy exception: i.e., the X-ray studies of 0540-69.3 has been only preliminary and some results were even controversial between Chandra and XMM-Newton. The proposed deep observation with the high angular resolution Chandra/ACIS would be the unique opportunity for an extensive spatio-spectral analysis of 0540-69.3.
