New narrow-band HAlpha imaging and subsequent optical spectra confirm G315.1+2.7, a previously identified candidate supernova remnant (SNR), as a bona-fide Galactic SNR. Present observations are based on independent discovery of filamentary…
We observed the North-East (NE) Limb toward the center region of the Cygnus Loop with the ASCA Observatory. We found a radial variation of electron temperature (kTe) and ionization timescale (log(\tau)) whereas no variation could be found…
The North Polar Spur (NPS) is the brightest filament of Loop I, a large circular feature in the radio continuum sky. In this paper, a model consisting of two synchrotron emitting shells is presented that reproduces large-scale structures…
Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud has proven a unique laboratory to investigate particle acceleration in young supernova remnants. Here we report the first detection of linear polarization of the supernova's synchrotron emission…
We identify a source (J1507+3013) with an extended diffuse radio emission around an elliptical galaxy from the Very Large Array (VLA) Faint Images of Radio Sky at Twenty-cm (FIRST) survey. J1507+3013 possesses a morphology similar to the…
Spectral index studies of halos, relics, and radio galaxies provide useful information on their origin and connection with merger processes. We present WSRT multi-wavelength observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 2255 at 25 cm, 85 cm, and…
Deep CCD exposures of the peculiar supernova remnant CTB 80 in the light of major optical lines have been obtained. These images reveal significant shock heated emission in the area of the remnant. The sulfur line image shows emission in…
Odd Radio Circles (ORCs) are a new class of distinct radio objects that has recently been discovered. The origin of these features is yet unclear because their peculiar properties are a challenge for our current understanding of…
We present a radio analysis of the recently identified supernova remnant G321.3-3.9 using archival multi-wavelength data spanning 88-2304 MHz. The source exhibits an elliptical shell-like morphology (1.3 deg x 1.7 deg) and a relatively flat…
We study the spectral and polarization properties of supernova remnants (SNRs) based on our 6cm survey data. The observations were taken from the Sino-German 6cm polarization survey of the Galactic plane. By using the integrated flux…
A 20' \times 16' elliptical ring-like structure has been found near the Galactic center in the narrow energy band corresponding to the K$\alpha$ line from He-like sulfur. In the ring, two diffuse sources are found, a supernova remnant…
Aims: An all-sky survey of loop- and arc-like intensity enhancements has been performed in order to investigate the large-scale structure of the diffuse far-infrared emission. Methods: We used maps made of 60 and 100 micrometer processed…
The average brightness temperatures and surface brightnesses at 22 MHz are derived for the four main Galactic radio-continuum loops (Loops I, II, III and IV, hereafter radio-loops). Also the radio-continuum spectra for the radio-loops are…
We report the discovery of a $1^\circ$ scale X-ray plume in the northern Galactic Center (GC) region observed with Suzaku. The plume is located at ($l$, $b$) $\sim$ ($0\mbox{$.\!\!^\circ$}2$, $0\mbox{$.\!\!^\circ$}6$), east of the radio…
Deep polarimetric Westerbork observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 2256 are presented, covering a frequency range of 325-377 MHz. The central halo source has a diameter of the order of 1.2 Mpc (18'), which is somewhat larger than at 1.4…
According to optical stellar kinematics observations, an over-massive black hole candidate has been reported by van den Bosch et al. (2012) in the normal early-type galaxy NGC 1277. This galaxy is located in the central region of the…
We investigate the nature of a Galactic center source, G0.17+0.15, lying along the northern extension of the Radio Arc near l~0.2deg. G0.17+0.15 is an HII region located toward the eastern edge of the radio bubble, embedded within the…
We propose that several short duration events observed in past stellar occultations by Chiron were produced by rings material. From a reanalysis of the stellar occultation data in the literature we determined two possible orientations of…
We aim to detect low-frequency radio emission from exoplanetary systems, which can provide insights into planetary magnetic fields, star-planet interactions, stellar activity, and exo-space weather. The HD 189733 system, hosting a…
This is the initial paper in a series presenting the first optical detections and subsequent follow-up spectroscopy of known Southern Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) previously discovered in the radio. These new detections come from the…
