ABSTRACT
We propose a 300 ksec observation of the canonical mixed-morphology supernova remnant (MM SNR) W44, designed to localize and map the recently-discovered over-ionized plasma via its characteristic radiative recombination continuum and enhanced emission lines. XMM-Newton is the only satellite with the effective area and spatial resolution needed to effectively find the origin of this plasma component. These results will be combined with our existing efforts to create three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models of MM SNR and reveal the source of this intriguing SNR category that may account for much of the turbulence and triggered star formation in molecular clouds.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
