Radio-Continuum Study of the Supernova Remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud - An SNR with a Highly Polarised Breakout Region - SNR J0455-6838
We present the results of new moderate resolution ATCA observations of SNR. We found that this SNR exhibits a mostly typical appearance with rather steep and curved $alpha$=--0.81$pm$0.18 and D=43$imes$31$pm$1~pc. Regions of high polarisation were detected, including unusually strong ($sim$70\%) re...

description | We present the results of new moderate resolution ATCA observations of SNR. We found that this SNR exhibits a mostly typical appearance with rather steep and curved $alpha$=--0.81$pm$0.18 and D=43$imes$31$pm$1~pc. Regions of high polarisation were detected, including unusually strong ($sim$70\%) region corresponding to the northern breakout. Such a strong polarisation in breakout regions has not been observed in any other SNR. |
