High energy astrophysics offers us the ability to further understand pulsars (PSR), pulsar wind nebulae (PWN), and their interaction with the host supernova remnant (SNR). SNR DEM L241, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, allows us to study a complex SNR in close proximity and low absorption. DEM L241 is also ideal for this study due to the separation of the internal PSR and PWN. Using data provided by the Chandra Space Telescope we were able to analyze spatially resolved spectra and calculate physical properties for various regions of the remnant in order to better understand the evolution of the SNR and PWN, and their interactions with each other and the interstellar medium.
