Yet another Odd Radio Circle?

Abstract

The Odd Radio Circles are newly identified diffuse radio sources at ~1 GHz frequency, with edge-brightened nearly circular morphology, which is remarkably similar to supernova remnants although a physical association with previous population of Galactic supernova remnants is challenging due to detections of the Odd Radio Circles at high Galactic latitudes. Here, a serendipitous identification of a new source in a LOFAR 144 MHz image with similar morphology as that of Odd Radio Circles is reported. This is the first reported identification of an Odd Radio Circle at a very low frequency and with the LOFAR.
