Scientific paper

G296.1-0.5 is a bright, relatively nearby supernova remnant whose spectrum and morphology indicate a complex shock structure associated with its interaction with a nonuniform medium. A partial-shell morphology is accompanied by a spectrum whose abundance properties are suggestive of an interaction with the wind from the massive progenitor. The low absorption and high luminosity make this an important remnant for the study of such a scenario. In addition, our initial observations reveal the presence of a bursting X-ray source whose properties may be similar to those of magnetars. We propose XMM-Newton observations to investigate the emission from the bright southwest portion of the remnant, for which our earlier observations were contaminated by soft proton flares.
