Global Deceleration and Inward Movements of X-Ray Knots and Rims of RCW 103

The kinematics of shocks, ejecta knots, and the compact remnant of a supernova remnant give insights into the nature of the progenitor and the surrounding environment. We report on a measurement of the proper motion of X-ray knots and rims of the magnetar-hosting supernova remnant RCW 103. Chandra d...
