We present spectropolarimetric radio images of the supernova remnant (SNR) G296.5+10.0 at frequencies near 1.4 GHz, observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. By applying rotation measure (RM) synthesis to the data, a pixel-by-pixel map of Faraday rotation has been produced for the entire remnant. We find G296.5+10.0 to have a highly ordered RM structure, with mainly positive RMs (mean RM of +28 rad/m**2) on the eastern side and negative RMs (mean RM of -14 rad/m**2) on the western side, indicating a magnetic field which is directed away from us on one side and toward us on the other. We consider several possible mechanisms for creating the observed RM pattern. Neither Faraday rotation in foreground interstellar gas nor in a homogeneous ambient medium swept up by the SNR shell can easily explain the magnitude and sign of the observed RM pattern. Instead, we propose that the observed RMs are the imprint of an azimuthal magnetic field in the stellar wind of the progenitor star. Specifically, we calculate that a swept-up magnetized wind from a red supergiant can produce RMs of the observed magnitude, while the azimuthal pattern of the magnetic field at large distances from the star naturally produces the anti-symmetric RM pattern observed. Expansion into such a wind can possibly also account for the striking bilateral symmetry of the SNRs radio and X-ray morphologies.
Radio continuum emission from the supernova remnant G296.5+10.0 was observed using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Using a 104 MHz bandwidth split into 13 x 8 MHz spectral channels, it was possible to produce a pixel-by-pixel image of Rotation
The explosive origin of the young supernova remnant (SNR) 3C 397 (G41.1-0.3) is debated. Its elongated morphology and proximity to a molecular cloud are suggestive of a core-collapse (CC) SN origin, yet recent X-ray studies of heavy metals show chemi
The interaction between the ejecta from Supernova 1987A and surrounding material is producing steadily brightening radio and X-ray emission. The new-born supernova remnant has been significantly decelerated by this interaction, while its morphology r
Using HST photometry, we age-date 59 supernova remnants (SNRs) in the spiral galaxy M31 and use these ages to estimate zero-age main sequence masses (MZAMS) for their progenitors. To accomplish this, we create color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and use
We present a polarimetric study of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) in supernova remnant G21.5$-$0.9 using archival Very Large Array (VLA) data. The rotation measure (RM) map of the PWN shows a symmetric pattern that aligns with the presumed pulsar spin
