Scientific paper

We propose to observe the supernova remnant (SNR) 0104-72.3 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). SNR 0104-72.3 is relatively faint and the X-ray images show ~arcsec scale substructure. There is also an X-ray point source within the SNR boundary. Furthermore, the origin of 0104-72.3 has been controversial between Type Ia and II. X-ray characteristics of 0104-72.3 make a deep Chandra ACIS observation the unique tool for the study of this SNR. Our proposed 120 ks ACIS observation would be useful to reveal the origin of 0104-72.3.
