We present a multi-wavelength study of the radio source G296.7-0.9. This source has a bilateral radio morphology, a radio spectral index of -0.5 +/- 0.1, sparse patches of linear polarisation, and thermal X-rays with a bright arc near the…
The radio continuum emission from the Galaxy has a rich mix of thermal and non-thermal emission. This very richness makes their interpretation challenging since the low radio opacity means that a radio image represents the sum of all…
We investigate the origin of the H$\alpha$-like structure seen in late-phase nebular spectra of type IIb supernovae (SNe IIb) at $\sim 200$ days after the explosion. We compare the luminosities of emission lines in the nebular spectra with…
We present a study of a peculiar Supernova Remnant MF16, associated with the Ultraluminous X-ray Source (ULX) NGC6946 ULX-1. Observations were taken with the MultiPupil Fiber Spectrograph (MPFS) with 6-m telescope on January 2005. The…
G290.1-0.8 (MSH 11-61A) is a supernova remnant (SNR) whose X-ray morphology is centrally bright. However, unlike the class of X-ray composite SNRs whose centers are dominated by nonthermal emission, presumably driven by a central pulsar, we…
A compact source, G0.02467-0.0727, was detected in ALMA \threemm observations in continuum and very broad line emission. The continuum emission has a spectral index $\alpha\approx3.3$, suggesting that the emission is from dust. The line…
The origin and evolution of supernova remnants of the mixed-morphology class is not well understood. Several remnants present distorted radio or X-ray shells with jet-like structures. G290.1-0.8 (MSH 11-61A) belongs to this class. We aim to…
We consider models for the generation of the emission line recently discovered in the X-ray afterglow spectrum of several bursts, and especially of GRB 991216 observed by Chandra. These observations suggest the presence of 0.1-1 solar…
G292.0+1.8 is a Cas A-like supernova remnant that contains the young pulsar PSR J1124-5916 powering a compact torus-like pulsar wind nebula visible in X-rays. A likely counterpart to the nebula has been detected in the optical VRI bands. To…
A survey of the inner 8$^\circ \times 1^\circ$ of the Galactic plane toward the Galactic center has been carried out at the 1720 MHz transition of OH molecule using the VLA in its D configuration with a resolution of…
We present a spatially resolved spectroscopic study of the thermal composite supernova remnant Kes 27 with Chandra. The X-ray spectrum of Kes 27 is characterized by K lines from Mg, Si, S, Ar, and Ca. The X-ray emitting gas is found to be…
For on-axis typical short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs), the forward shock emission is usually so bright that renders the identification of kilonovae (also known as macronovae) in the early afterglow ($t<0.5$ d) phase rather challenging. This is…
We present an X-ray imaging and spectroscopic study of the molecular cloud interacting mixed-morphology (MM) supernova remnant (SNR) G346.6-0.2 using XMM-Newton. The X-ray spectrum of the remnant is well described by a recombining plasma…
Deep Halpha+[N II] CCD images have been obtained in the area of the Pegasus Constellation. The resulting mosaic covers an extent of ~7.5 degr x ~8.5 degr and filamentary and diffuse emission is discovered. Several long filaments (up to ~1…
MeV nuclear de-excitation lines serve as a unique tool to study low-energy cosmic rays (CRs), containing both spectral and elemental information of the interacting material. In this paper, we estimated the possible nuclear de-excitation…
We present nebular-phase imaging and spectroscopy for the hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova SN 2015bn, at redshift z=0.1136, spanning +250-400 d after maximum light. The light curve exhibits a steepening in the decline rate from 1.4…
Context. The youngest Galactic supernova remnant G1.9+0.3 is an interesting target for next generation gamma-ray observatories. So far, the remnant is only detected in the radio and the X-ray bands, but its young age of ~100 yrs and…
Particle acceleration in the dynamically evolving environment of Supernova Remnants is discussed in the framework of a genuinely time-dependent nonlinear theory, assuming spherical symmetry. As a consequence the dependence of injection on…
To date, over 220 emission nebulae in M33 have been identified as supernova remnants (SNRs) or SNR candidates, principally through [SII]:Halpha line ratios that are elevated compared to those in H II regions. In many cases, the…
Optical images and spectra, both ground based and taken by Hubble Space Telescope (HST), of the young, luminous O-rich supernova remnant in the irregular galaxy NGC 4449 are presented. HST images of the remnant and its local region were…
