Supernova remnant searches at Molonglo.
Abstract
Confirmation of a catalog of 38 supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is reported, on the basis of a recent search carried out at the Molonglo Observatory in Australia. The technical characteristics of the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) are described, and some difficulties in identifying large-diameter SNR candidates are discussed. The complete observational results are given in a table.
