Scientific paper

SNR1987A provides a unique opportunity to study the development of a young supernova remnant at high resolution. We have monitored SN/SNR1987A at roughly six month intervals since October 1999. The remnant is expanding and is increasing rapidly in brightness. We propose to continue this monitoring program with two 50 ks observations in AO5, spaced six months apart. The remnant is now bright enough that these observations will permit spatially-resolved spectra in addition to monitoring the expansion (expected to begin slowing in the next year or two) and the development of new X-ray hot spots. They will also allow us to continue our search for a compact central object, which may become visible in the next year or two as the ejecta become optically thin.
