****************************************************** PR # 110 Scientific objectives:Tycho is a young type 1 supernova remnant which shows a nearly circular shellstructure with a radius of 4 arcmin. The scientific goal is to measurespatial distributions of heavy elements ( Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca, Fe, and Ni ) andplasma parameters (nt, kT, and EI). These parameters are crucial to study thedynamical and chemical structure of Tycho, which also provide strongconstrains on theoretical models of type 1 supernova explosion. Calibration objective:X-ray spectrum contains various strong emission lines, which are useful tocalibrate the energy scale of the SIS and the GIS. ******************************************************
