Beyond the non-thermal emission of RX J1713.7 3946

RX J1713.7 3946 is the posterchild of CR accelerator and is among the brightestX and gamma ray nonthermal emitters. While the Xray emission is dominated bysynchrotron, we have revealed thermal emission from the central region of theSNR. This lifted the veil of an unknown aspect of this SNR and preliminaryresults suggests that this might be a common feature. In view of the questionsraised by the recent XMM, Chandra, Fermi, and HESS results, now is the time toundertake a deep Xray coverage of the entire SNR. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
