The Magellanic Cloud supernova remnants
Abstract
The first supernova remnant (SNR) in the Magellanic Clouds was discovered by Mathewson and Healey (1964). Surveys for SNR in the Magellanic Clouds are discussed, taking into account the selection procedure initially used, current optical selection criteria for SNR, the launching of the Einstein Observatory, and the information obtainable by a detailed study of the discovered SNR. Attention is also given to the oxygen-rich SNR, the nonradiative shock SNR, the evolved radiative SNR, and conclusions based on the obtained results.
