Scientific paper

SN 1006 was shown by ASCA to be of a dual nature, with non-thermal emission coming from the bright limbs superposed on fainter thermal emission. This is the best example we have of shock acceleration of cosmic-ray electrons to energies approaching the ``knee'' in the cosmic-ray spectrum (supernova remnants are thought to be the main sites of cosmic-ray acceleration). We have analysed the XMM-Newton pointings on SN 1006, and have measured for the first time the radial and azimuthal variations of the synchrotron emission. We propose to finish mapping the whole remnant with deeper exposures, allowing to measure the non-thermal emission outside the bright limbs (the current constraint is more like an upper limit).
