Scientific paper

We propose a systematic study of the X-ray brightest supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the ACIS-I. The specific goals of the proposal are to (1) derive accurate values of the LMC gas-phase metal abundances; (2) confirm the existence of newly processed metals in the interiors of middle-aged SNRs and study the amount and spatial distribution of these ejecta; (3) find and study power-law X-ray emission components that might arise from nonthermal distributions of electrons in pulsar-powered synchrotron nebula or originating through shock acceleration; (4) clarify the evolutionary state of the remnants to better understand the progenitor stars and their effects on the local environment.
