This object follows a horseshoe morphology, with a size 37 pc x 28 pc (1-pc uncertainty in each direction). It exhibits a radio spectrum with the intrinsic synchrotron spectral index of alpha= -0.47+-0.06 between 73 and 6 cm. We report detections of regions showing moderately high fractional polarisation at 6 cm, with a peak value of 36+-6% and a mean fractional polarisation of 12+-7%. We also estimate an average rotation measure across the remnant of -591 rad m^-2. The current lack of deep X-ray observation precludes any conclusion about high-energy emission from the remnant. The association with an old stellar population favours a thermonuclear supernova origin of the remnant.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-04-01T23:06:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "supernova remnant", "multifrequency study", "moderately high fractional polarisation", "old stellar population favours", "australia telescope compact array" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1093/mnras/stt568", "journal": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "year": 2013, "month": "Jul", "volume": 432, "number": 3, "pages": 2177 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1226189, "adsabs": "2013MNRAS.432.2177B" } } }
