OUR TWO GOALS ARE TO TYPE THE SUPERNOVA VIA ROBUST ABUNDANCE DETERMINATIONS OF OXYGEN NEON AND IRON AND TO MEASURE THE IONIZATION STATE OF THE THERMAL PLASMA TO ND IF THE PLASMA IS EITHER IONIZING OR RECOMBINING AS WELL AS THE DENSITY WEIGHTED TIME SINCE THE PLASMA WAS LAST SHOCKED. ARMED WITH THESE PARAMETERS AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE KNOWN DISTANCE TO THE LMC WE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE A DETAILED MODEL OF THE EVOLUTION OF THE REMNANT AND BETTER UNDERSTAND REMNANT EVOLUTION IN GENERAL.
