X-ray spectrometric monitoring of SN 1987A

Between 2007 and 2020, our XMMNewton monitoring of SN1987A yielded EPIC and RGSspectra of unprecedented quality. The fluxes and broadening of the numerousemission lines provide information on the evolution of the Xray emitting plasmaand its dynamics. The soft Xray light curve has displayed a steady flux declinefrom 2014 decreasing18% of its peak value by 2020. To further monitor theevolution of the Xray flux and to follow the expected turnover we propose tocontinue our monitoring.This will allow us to further study the time evolutionof the shock conditions and abundance profiles. At high energies EPICpn canmonitor the hard band continuum and help to clarify the extremely low observedFe abundance by following the evolution of the detected FeK line truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
