Scientific paper

We propose a 50 ks observation of the central object in the supernova remnant RCW103 using the HETG. This object has been in a high intensity state during the past two observations of it by the CXO. We propose to do a short observation using the mode that we have employed during GTO2 to determine the state of the source. If it is in a high state (~E-11 ergs/cm^2/s), then we would propose to activate this TOO to do the grating observation. A grating observation should help determine the nature of this unusual source, which has shown a 6 hour periodic modlulation of its intensity, but with no optically detected counterpart.
