We have observed the central 45' region of the Galaxy at 620 MHz band of the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in radio continuum, and measured the polarisation properties of 64 small diameter background extragalactic sources seen…

The so-called 'Galactic Center' Lobe (GCL) is an extended (~1 deg) radio continuum feature situated above the Galactic Plane, for which the literature contains varying claims about both its nature and location. Using new optical integral…

Aims: We study the supernova remnant G20.0-0.2 and its surroundings in order to look for the high energy counterpart of the radio nebula and to find evidence of interaction between the shock front and the interstellar medium. Methods: We…

This Letter presents the serendipitous discovery of a large arc in an X-ray selected cluster detected in the Rosat North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) survey. The cluster, associated with Abell 2280, is identified as the optical counterpart of the…

Using a 90 ks Chandra ACIS-S observation in the 0.3--7 keV band, along with complementary Low-Frequency Array and Karl G.~Jansky Very Large Array data in the 120--168 MHz and 1--2 GHz ranges, we study the diffuse emission around the nearby…

Supernova remnants (SNRs) are observable for about 6-15x10^4 years before they fade into the Galactic interstellar medium. With a Galactic supernova rate of approximately two per century, we can expect to have of the order of 1200 SNRs in…

After discovery of the Fermi bubbles, giant structures observed in radio to X-rays have been discussed as possi- ble evidence of past activities in the Galactic Center (GC). We report here on the analysis of Suzaku data pointing around the…

The radio transient ASKAP J173608.2-321735, at the position (l,b)= (356.0872,-0.0390), was serendipitously observed by The HI/OH/Recombination Line Survey of the Galactic Center (THOR-GC) at three epochs in March 2020, April 2020 and…

We report the discovery of a new HI ring around the S0 galaxy NGC 1533. The ring orbits at a radius of 35 kpc, well outside the optical extent of the galaxy. We have conducted N-body/SPH numerical simulations to show this HI ring could be…

We present an XMM-Newton observation of the long-overlooked radio source G350.1-0.3. The X-ray spectrum of G350.1-0.3 can be fit by a shocked plasma with two components: a high-temperature (1.5 keV) region with a low ionization time scale…

The supernova remnant (SNR) G288.8-6.3 was recently discovered as a faint radio shell at large Galactic latitude using observations with ASKAP in the EMU survey. Here, we make the first detailed investigation of the $\gamma$-ray emission…

We present a re-discovery of G278.94+1.35 as possibly one of the largest known Galactic supernova remnants (SNR) - that we name Diprotodon. While previously established as a Galactic SNR, Diprotodon is visible in our new EMU and GLEAM radio…

Radio-bright, presumably young supernova remnants offer the opportunity of studying strong-shock physics and the nature of the interaction of ejected material with the surrounding medium. We use VLA and ROSAT images of the radio-bright…
