A 4.8 and 8.6 GHz Survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud. I. The Images

Detailed 4.8 and 8.6 GHz radio images of the entire Large Magellanic Cloud with half-power beamwidths of 33'' at 4.8 GHz and 20'' at 8.6 GHz have been obtained using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. A total of 7085 mosaic positions were used to cover an area of 6° on a side...

description Detailed 4.8 and 8.6 GHz radio images of the entire Large Magellanic Cloud with half-power beamwidths of 33'' at 4.8 GHz and 20'' at 8.6 GHz have been obtained using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. A total of 7085 mosaic positions were used to cover an area of 6° on a side. Full polarimetric observations were made. These images have sufficient spatial resolution (~8 and 5 pc, respectively) and sensitivity (3 s of 1 mJy beam-1) to identify most of the individual supernova remnants and H II regions and also, in combination with available data from the Parkes 64 m telescope, the structure of the smooth emission in that galaxy. In addition, limited data using the sixth antenna at 4.5-6 km baselines are available to distinguish bright point sources (
