Title:Spectral mapping of interacting supernova remnants
PI:Morten Andersen
Co-I(s): Jeonghee Rho

Abstract

Supernova remnants interacting with molecular clouds are important laboratories for shock physics. Through the strong molecular lines, in particular molecular hydrogen they can be observing in the near-infrared from the ground. We propose to do a complete spectral mapping of one such interacting SNR using Flamingos 2. This poor weather proposal will work as a template and feasibility study for future higher sensitivity mapping.
