We present results of a search for supernova remnants (SNRs) in archival Chandra images of M33. We have identified X-ray SNRs by comparing the list of Chandra, X-ray sources in M33 with tabulations of SNR candidates identified from (1)…

Although only a small fraction of stars end their lives as supernovae, all supernovae leave behind a supernova remnant (SNR), an expanding shock wave that interacts with the surrounding medium, heating the gas and seeding the cosmos with…

We present a multi-wavelength study of the properties of supernova remnants (SNRs) in the nearby Sculptor Group Sd galaxy NGC 7793. Using our own Very Large Array radio observations at 6 and 20 cm, as well as archived ROSAT X-ray data,…

We compare a deep (37 ks) Chandra ACIS-S image of the M31 bulge to Local Group Survey narrow-band optical data and Very Large Array (VLA) radio data of the same region. Our precisely registered images reveal two new optical shells with…

We calculate synchrotron radio emission and gamma-ray emission due to bremsstrahlung, inverse-Compton scattering and $pi^0$-decay from the remnant of supernova which exploded in the circumstellar matter (CSM) formed by the progenitor's…
