Abstract
We present new results from a 40.8 ks Chandra ACIS observation of the young supernova remnant (SNR) N103B located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The high resolution Chandra image reveals structure at the sub-arcsecond level, including several bright knots and filaments. Narrow-band imaging and spatially resolved spectroscopy reveal dramatic spectral variations in this remnant as well. In this paper we discuss whether these variations are due to inhomogeneities in the surrounding environment or were generated in the explosion which created the SNR.
