ContextThe Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) hosts a rich and varied population of supernova remnants (SNRs). Optical, X-ray, and radio observations are required to identify these SNRs, as well as to ascertain the various processes responsible for the large array of physical characteristics observed.AimsIn this paper we attempted to confirm the candidate SNR [HP99] 1234, identified in X-rays with ROSAT, as a true SNR by supplementing these X-ray data with optical and radio observations.MethodsOptical data from the Magellanic Cloud Emission Line Survey (MCELS) and new radio data from the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST), in addition to the ROSAT X-ray data, were used to perform a multiwavelength morphological analysis of this candidate SNR.ResultsAn approximately ellipsoidal shell of enhanced [S ii] emission, typical of an SNR ([S ii]/Hα> 0.4), was detected in the optical. This enhancement is positionally coincident with faint radio emission atλ= 36 cm. Using the available data we estimated the size of the remnant to be ~5.1′ × 4.0′ (~75 pc × 59 pc). However, the measurement along the major-axis was somewhat uncertain due to a lack of optical and radio emission at its extremities and the poor resolution of the X-ray data. Assuming this SNR is in the Sedov phase and adopting the ambient mass density of 1.2 × 10-25g cm-3measured in a nearby H ii region, an age estimate of ~25 kyr was calculated for a canonical initial explosion energy of 1051erg. However, this age estimate should be treated cautiously due to uncertainties on the adopted parameters. Analysis of the local stellar population suggested a type Ia event as a precursor to this SNR, however, a core-collapse mechanism could not be ruled out due to the possibility of the progenitor being a runaway massive star.ConclusionsWith the detection of X-ray, radio and significant optical line emission with enhanced [S ii], this object was confirmed as an SNR to which we assign the identifier MCSNR J0527−7104.
