Scientific paper

G349.7+0.2 is one of the most X-ray luminous supernova remnants in the Galaxy. CO measurements and the detection of OH masers clearly demonstrate that the remnant is interacting with a molecular cloud, and provide a solid distance measurement. Radio observations indicate a breakout into a lower density region in the northwest. X-ray observations are consistent with this picture, indicating a young SNR that has swept up considerable mass upon emerging from a wind-blown cavity into dense material in the south. We propose an ACIS observation of G349.7+0.2 in order to search for evidence of ejecta in the remnant, to study the structure of the shocked material at the cloud interface, and to search for temperature variations associated with the breakout into a lower density region.
