Abstract

SN1996cr is one of the closest and X-ray brightest SNe detected on the sky. Like SN1987A, it appears to have exploded into a wind-blown bubble, sparking a unique temporal evolution wherein its X-ray flux has increased for >8 years now. Serendipitous HETG data allow us to identify several strong, broad, asymmetric emission-line complexes in SN1996cr, although their low-signal leaves much to interpretation. We propose a deep HETG observation of SN1996cr to resolve these emission lines and elucidate their nature (velocity structure, line diagnostics, abundances). It is imperative to observe SN1996cr while it remains bright, as it is the only SN beside SN1987A where such an observation is practical and in many ways is more representative of CSM-interacting core-collapse SNe.
