Scientific paper

SNR1987A provides a unique opportunity to study the development of a young supernova remnant at high resolution. We have monitored SN/SNR1987A at roughly six month intervals since October 1999. The remnant is expanding and is increasing exponentially in X-ray brightness. We propose to continue this monitoring program with two additional observations in AO8, spaced six months apart. The remnant is now bright enough that these observations will permit spatially-resolved spectra in addition to monitoring the expansion (which has recently begun to slow) and the development of new X-ray hot spots. We will also continue our search for a compact central object, which may become visible in the near future as the ejecta become optically thin.
