The first full X-ray description of a new young SNR G53.41+0.03

We propose to obtain the first complete Xray CCD image of the newly discoveredsupernova remnant (SNR) G53.41+0.03. The spectral image study of this rare andrelatively young (1000 8000 yr) SNR will allow us to\\: i) better constraint theelement abundances, which are crucial for pinpointing the SNR origin; ii)significantly improve the age estimation by better measuring the plasmaparameters; iii) search for active acceleration sites producing synchrotronradiation and iv) for a compact object which could be either a normal pulsar,CCO or a magnetar. In addition we will compare the Xray morphology to ourprevious radio study. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
