The Cygnus loop is one of the nearest supernova remnants (440p c) and has been studied extensively in various wavebands. However with the new capabilities of the Chandra X-ray observatory, studies can be carried to an entirely new level, both in terms of spectral resolution and spatial resolution. The ROSAT PSPC observations of the Cygnus loop [1] revealed an enigmatic bright V-shaped region on the south-western limb (near RA 20h46m and dec.+30.0deg). The left side of the V is one of the hardest (in the ROSAT band) regions in the Cygnus loop and the right side is one of the softest. Chandra ACIS observations were obtained covering the region of the V, to obtain a high resolution image of the region and to obtain spatially resolved spectra.
