An Imaging and Spectroscopic Study of the Supernova Remnant RCW 103 (G332.4-0.4) with the CHANDRA X-ray Observatory

The explosion of a massive star results in an immense expulsion of energy and stellar debris (ejecta) that are heated to extremely high temperatures forming what is known as a super va remnant (SNR). Presented is a CHANDRA 0.5-10 keV X-ray study of the SNR RCW 103, a bright SNR that contains the unu...
