U.S.-Australia Cooperative Research: Radio Polarimetry of Supernova Remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

该奖项支持伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校的约翰·R·迪克尔博士长期访问悉尼的澳大利亚望远镜国家设施，与D·K·米尔恩博士合作。超新星残骸(SNR)是连接恒星和星际介质的重要纽带。通过对邻近星系--大麦哲伦星云中的SNR样本进行射电观测，可以为理解这些天体做出重要贡献。只有新启用的澳大利亚望远镜才有能力对这个南方星系进行这样的观测。

This award supports a long-term visit by Dr. John R. Dickel of the University of Illinois Urbana to the Australia Telescope National Facility in Sydney to work with Dr. D.K. Milne. Supernova remnants (SNRs) are an important link between the stars and the interstellar medium. An important contribution to understanding these objects can be made by radio observations of a sample of SNRs in our neighboring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. Only the newly commissioned Australia Telescope has the capability to make such observations of this southern galaxy.
