Scientific paper

CTB~80 is an exotic supernova remnant (SNR) characterized by three 30' long radio wings intersecting at a non-thermal nebula (plateau) powered by the 40 ms pulsar, PSR B1951+32. The 64,000 year-old SNR is believed to be rejuvenated by the pulsar which is moving at a velocity of 240 km/s and encountering the edge of the SNR shell. Therefore CTB~80 represents a critical stage in SNR evolution where the pulsar is catching up and interacting with the SNR. While the SNR has been well studied at radio wavelengths, so far there is no sensitive high-energy X-ray study. We therefore propose to observe this SNR with XMM-Newton. The high sensitivity of XMM combined with its large field of view makes it the best satellite to date to study this unusual SNR.
