Scientific paper

We describe spatially-resolved, CCD-resolution spectroscopy of the supernova remnant (SNR) RCW 103 as observed by the Chandra X-ray Observatory during a 19.1 ksec exposure. The outstanding spatial resolution of the Chandra ACIS images resolve diffuse filaments across the remnant, as well as what appear to be explosion fragments, or ``bullets,'' extending beyond the x-ray bright region in the southwestern part of the SNR. Observed features are soft (E < 3 keV) and we detect evidence of line emissions at several energies. The x-ray bright regions in the southwestern and northeastern part of RCW 103 are consistent with enhancements of optical, infrared, and radio emissions.
