    PR # 32117                                                                   
     We propose ASCA observations of two Balmer-dominated remnants in the        
     LMC, which are the only remaining members of this class in the Local        
     Group not yet observed by ASCA.  The spectra, when analyzed in the          
     context of our nonequilibrium ionization model, will allow                  
     determination of temperatures, emission measures, ionization                
     timescales, and elemental abundances.  The former three quantities,         
     in conjunction with published results, will allow the complete              
     specification of the dynamical state of the remnants, within the            
     context of Sedov phase evolution. From the abundances, we will              
     confirm whether these remnants were the product of Type Ia supernova        
     explosions, as recent ASCA results on other Balmer-dominated remnants       
    in the LMC strongly suggest.
