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 present new, high resolution 1420 and 408 MHz continuum images and HI and 12CO (J=1-0) spectral line maps of the diffuse supernova remnant CTB104A (G93.7-0.3). Analysis of the complex continuum emission reveals no significant spectral…

0103$-$72.6, the second brightest X-ray supernova remnant (SNR) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), has been observed with the {\it Chandra X-Ray Observatory}. Our {\it Chandra} observation unambiguously resolves the X-ray emission into a…

We report the first detection of optical emission from the shell-type Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G108.2$-$0.6. We obtained H$\alpha$ images and long-slit spectra using the 1.5-m RTT150 telescope to examine the morphological and…

Wide-field H-alpha images of the Galactic plane have revealed a new supernova remnant (SNR) nearly three degrees in diameter centred at l = 107.0, b = +9.0. Deep and higher resolution H-alpha and [O III] 5007 Ang images show dozens of…

Using our deep ~120 ks Chandra observation, we report on the results from our spatially-resolved X-ray spectral analysis of the "oxygen-rich" supernova remnant (SNR) 0540-69.3 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We conclusively establish the…
