Radio-continuum study of the supernova remnants in the large Magellanic Cloud: An SNR with a highly polarized breakout region: SNR J0455-6838
Keyword(s):
We present the results of new moderate resolution ATCA observations of SNR J0455-6838. We found that this SNR exhibits a mostly typical appearance with rather steep and curved ?=-0.81?0.18 and D=43?31?1 pc. Regions of high polarization were detected, including unusually strong (~70%) region corresponding to the northern breakout. Such a strong polarization in breakout regions has not been observed in any other SNR.
