We present our high-resolution radio-continuum and X-ray study of supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs). These investigations are based on Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) radio-continuum and ROSAT X-ray observations. Our main aim is to study a complete sample of the MC SNRs and H II regions.

High-resolution IRAS images, processed by HIRES, are ideal for the search of large, cold, fossil shell structures around Wolf-Rayet stars. In our preliminary effort, we have confirmed the large, 1.°5 — 2°, ring structures around NGC 6888 and RCW 58, which are clearly shown in the HIRES processed images. We interpret them as fossil bubbles blown by the main-sequence progenitors of the WR stars, although these large shells were previously suggested to be evolved supernova remnants.

We present soft X-ray photomosaic images of two supernova remnants, Puppis A and IC 443, constructed from a series of exposures by the Einstein imaging instruments. The complex morphologies displayed in these images reflect the interaction between “middle-aged” supernova remnants and various components of the interstellar medium. Surface brightness variations across Puppis A suggest that inhomogeneities on scales from 0.2 to 30 pc are present in the interstellar medium, while the structure of IC 443 is apparently dominated by the interaction between the remnant and a giant molecular cloud.

Recent high resolution CO images of the Galactic center (GC) molecular clouds reveal many arc and/or shell structures (Oka et al. 1997). A considerable fraction of them may most probably be formed by an interaction between supernova remnants (SNRs) and molecular clouds. Studies of such cases in less confused areas are needed to clarify this picture. The SNR W44 is a good place for examining the SNR induced shell formation scenario.

High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs), based on grating spectrometers onboard XMM-Newton and Chandra, has been revealing a variety of new astrophysical phenomena. Broadened oxygen lines for a northwestern compact knot in SN 1006 clearly show a high oxygen temperature of ~300 keV. The high temperature together with a lower electron temperature (<em>kT<sub>e</sub></em> ~ 1 keV) can be reasonably interpreted as temperature non-equilibration between electrons and oxygen behind a collisionless shock. An ejecta knot in the Puppis A SNR shows blueshifted line emission by ~ 1500kms<sup>-1</sup>. The line widths are fairly narrow in contrast to the SN 1006's knot; an upper limit of 0.9 eV is obtained for O VIII Lyα, which translates to an oxygen temperature of <em>kT<sub>O</sub></em> &lt; 30 keV. The low temperature suggests that the knot was heated by a reverse shock whose velocity is 4 times slower than that of a forward shock. Anomalous intensity ratios in O VII Heα lines, i.e., a stronger forbidden line than a resonance line, is found in a cloud-shock interaction region in Puppis A. The line ratio can be best explained by the charge-exchange emission that should arise at interfaces between the cold/warm clouds and the hot plasma. There are several other targets for which we plan to analyze high-quality grating data prior to the operation of the soft X-ray spectrometer onboard Astro-H.

Radio observations are presented of the fairly large galactic complex Vela-X, Y, and Z. These sources are believed to be the remnant of a supernova having an optical identification with the filamentary nebula Stromlo 16. The brightness distributions, obtained at four frequencies, indicate an open annular structure reminiscent of other supernova remnants. The variation of spectral index over the region is investigated and shows that the radiation is substantially nontherm81, the integrated fluxes yielding a spectral index of -0,3. A high resolution distribution of magnetic field direction is deduced from polarization measurements made at three frequencies; a circumferential magnetic field is a possible interpretation of the field orientations.
