Large numbers (∼30) of supernova remnant candidates have been revealed in new VLA maps of the inner 600 pc of M82 with subarcsecond resolution. The flux density decrease of the bright source 41.9+58 in the M82 nuclear region is found to be occurring with an approximately constant spectral index of −0.9 at ν≳3 GHz, and the low frequency turnover has moved from ∼700 MHz in 1974–1975 to <400 MHz in 1979–81.A model of 41.9+58 is proposed in which it is, at least initially confined by its own hot (∼108K) pre-SN ejecta, and its relativistic particles are accelerated by a pulsar at its centre.

AbstractWe find strong (> 1%) circular polarization in the intraday-variable radio source PKS 1519–273. The source exhibits ~ 12 hourly variability in all four Stokes parameters at 4.8 and 8.6 GHz, and longer timescale variability at 2.5 and 1.4 GHz. The characteristics and frequency dependence of the variability suggest that it is due to interstellar scintillation. VSOP limits on the distance to the scattering screen constrain the brightness temperature to TB > 5 × 1013 K. The fluctuations in total intensity are well-correlated with those in circular polarization, implying that the variable component of the source is −3.8 ±0.4% circularly polarized at 4.8 GHz. The origin of the circular polarization is unclear.

Slee (1955) has shown that the discrete cosmic radio source Hydra-A shows variations in intensity at metre wavelengths. This is the first variable radio source to be found, other than the Sun, although Ryle and Elsmore (1951) investigated about one hundred northerly sources and found no significant variations in their intensities over a period of 18 months. The observations to be described here were undertaken firstly to check the variability of the source, then suspected by Slee, and secondly to measure its angular size and see whether this might also be variable.
