The Magellanic Cloud supernova remnants provide a sample with relatively well constrained distances, yet with enough angular scale to allow spatially resolved X-ray studies with XMM-Newton and particularly with Chandra. The O-rich supernova remnant 1E0102.2-7219 (or E0102) in the Small Magellanic Cloud is notable for being extremely bright in X-rays, and strongly dominated by He-like and H-like lines of O and Ne. The remnant, with a diameter of approximately 3/4', has been repeatedly observed by Chandra and XMM-Newton as part of their calibration programs. The deep Chandra dataset allows the morphology to be examined in considerable detail. In addition, the low absorption column allows studies in the far ultraviolet. We have observed the remnant with FUSE using the 20"x4" MDRS slit at three positions around the X-ray bright ring. The remnant is detected in broad O VI emission line components. The high spectral resolution of FUSE allows extraction of velocity information which is compared to values obtained from Chandra X-ray grating spectra. The FUSE data, together with the X-ray data, provide information on the three adjacent ionization stages O VI, O VII, and O VII, which are used to probe the plasma conditions. In this talk I will summarize results based on analyses of X-ray and FUSE observations of the remnant.This work was supported by NASA/FUSE grant NAG5-12295 and by NASA contract NAS8-03060.
