A Supernova Remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Abstract

THE proximity of the Large Magellanic Cloud offers an unparalleled opportunity for the detailed comparison of an external galaxy at optical and radio wave-lengths. Recently the 210-ft. steerable reflector at the Australian National Radio Astronomy Observatory has been used to survey the Large Cloud at a number of wave-lengths between 11 cm and 220 cm. The results of this work have been presented at the recent International Astronomical Union/International Scientific Radio Union Symposium No. 20 (ref. 1).
