Scientific paper

We propose to observe the hot plasma/cold cloud X-ray emitting interface region surrounding the Coalsack Nebula. Such an interface will provide a nearly unique insight into the physical parameters of transition regions, which are a feature of most models of the interstellar medium but are not observed (except in active SNR shock fronts). The motivation for the observation is three-fold, to (1) verify the existence of the X-ray bright transition region (''the halo'') as observed with relatively low exposure in ROSAT data, (2) determine the origin of the X-ray emitting plasma, and (3) determine the physical state of the plasma. Specifically, these observations will provide the characteristics of the hot side of the Hot-Cool interface.
