Resumen:
We present a study of the interstellar medium in an extended region
towards the shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) RCW 103, based on HI
λ21 cm data obtained with the ATCA radiotelescope (Australia) and
on observations of the rotational transition J = 1 - 0 of ^{12}CO and
HCO^+ performed towards the south of the SNR using the Australian MOPRA
radiotelescope. In order to visualize the atomic ambient medium where
RCW 103 evolves we have developed a three dimensional display for the HI
λ21 cm data. This visualization has the great advantage of
providing spatial and kinematical information simultaneously, a useful
tool to get a 3-dimensional insight of the ambient gas. From the
molecular lines study, we confirm on the basis of the observed changes
in the intensity ratios that the SNR is physically interacting with a
nearby cloud to the south.
