An Archival Chandra Study of the Young Core-Collapse Supernova Remnant 1E 0102.2-7219 in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Abstract
We report on the initial results from our detailed spatially-resolved spectral analysis of the young O-rich supernova remnant (SNR) 1E 0102.2-7219 in the Small Magellanic Cloud, using the deep 273 ks archival Chandra data. We examined the radial and azimuthal variations in elemental abundances (O, Ne, Mg) and plasma parameters (electron temperature, ionization timescale). We briefly discuss the implications of our results on the geometrical structure of the remnant and its circumstellar medium.
