A Deep, High-Resoluiton View of SN 1006 from Chandra

We will present early results from a Large Project to survey the remnant from the A.D. 1006 supernova with ACIS on Chandra. We have mapped the entire 30-arcmin-diameter shell and its environs in 10 overlapping fields, with a total exposure time of over 700 ks. In this poster we will present full mosaic images from the entire data set, which gives the most detailed X-ray view of this historical remnant ever obtained. Companion papers will focus on initial science results: a multi-wavelength analysis of structure and proper motions along the thermally-dominated NW rim (B.J. Williams et al.); and an exploration of the newly resolved and extremely thin rim around the synchrotron-dominated southwest part of the shell, which provides a probe for magnetic-field amplification, diffuse particle acceleration, and electron energy loss behind the shock (S. Ressler et al.). This project is being supported by NASA under grant GO2-13066A.
