Scientific paper

We propose to complete the mapping of the SNR RCW 86 with two observations of the northern shell with both Chandra and XMM-Newton. RCW 86 is a convincing example of a remnant in an ISM cavity, and it is one of the few shell type remnants with X-ray synchrotron radiation. A peculiarity is that the synchrotron emission seems associated with Fe K emission at 6.4 keV, which is likely to come from a low density pure Fe plasma, suggesting other pure metal ejecta may also be present. The proposed observations will map the only part of the main shell with synchrotron radiation, an interesting break-out structure, and a faint outer shell. Chandra will provide detailed imaging spectroscopy, supplemented by XMM, which in addition provides high resolution spectroscopy with the RGS.
