Popis: Using neutrons and x-rays we show the topological kagome antiferromagnet Mn$_3$Sn for $T<285$~K forms a homogeneous spin and charge ordered state comprising a longitudinally polarized spin density wave (SDW) with wavevector $\textbf{k}_{\beta}=k_\beta {\bf \hat{c}}$, a helical modulated version of the room temperature anti-chiral magnetic order with $\textbf{k}_{\chi}=k_\chi{\bf \hat{c}}$, and charge density waves with wave vectors $2\textbf{k}_\beta, 2\textbf{k}_\chi$, and $\textbf{k}_\beta+\textbf{k}_\chi$. Though $\textbf{k}_{\chi}$ and $\textbf{k}_\beta$ coincide for $200~{\rm K}Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures
