Global deceleration and inward movements of X-ray knots and rims of RCW 103
read the original abstract
Kinematics of shocks, ejecta knots, and the compact remnant of a supernova remnant gives an insight into the nature of the progenitor and surrounding environment. We report on a proper motion measurement of X-ray knots and rims of the magnetar-hosting supernova remnant RCW 103. Chandra data obtained in three epochs, 1999, 2010, and 2016 are used. We find a global deceleration of 12 knots and rims both in northern and southern regions within the last $\sim 24$ yrs, even though its age is thought to be larger than 2 kyr. Some of them even changed their moving directions from outward ($\sim 1,000$ km s$^{-1}$) to inward ($\sim -2,000$ km s$^{-1}$). Our findings can be explained with a collision with a high-density medium both in the northern and southern edges of the remnant, although the remnant may still be expanding in the wind-blown cavity. The proper motion of the associated magnetar 1E161348$-$5055 is possibly detected with a velocity of $\approx 500$ km s$^{-1}$.

Chandra X-Ray Imaging and Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy of SN 1987A: Energy-Dependent Morphology of the Equatorial Ring
Soft X-ray emission from SN 1987A's equatorial ring becomes broader and extends inward after ~2012, while hard X-rays remain compact, indicating growing contribution from reverse-shock-heated interior material.
