Frail(2) Institute: (1) Code 7213, Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC, 20375-5351 USA, (2) National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Socorro, New Mexico, 87801 USA Paper : accpeted for MNRAS (Letters) Weblink : http://rsd-www.nrl.navy.mil/7214/weiler/dragonfarm.html (image) Abstract: Improved images and a newly determined spectrum from 80 MHz to 15 GHz have clarified the nature of the radio source G0.33+0.04 at the Galactic Centre. Its non-thermal spectral index and its shell-like morphology favor an interpretation that this is a supernova remnant. Furthermore, the absorption characteristics of the continuum spectrum at the lowest frequencies and its elongation along the plane suggest that, like Sgr A East, it is in physical proximity to the Galactic Centre (see http://rsd-www.nrl.navy.mil/7214/weiler/dragonfarm.html for an image). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Older versions of the Newsflash can be found at the gcnews web-page) ======================================================================== Edited by Angela Cotera Heino Falcke (cotera@ipac.caltech.edu) (hfalcke@astro.umd.edu) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For Abstract submission please send the (La)Tex file of your paper to gcnews@astro.umd.edu ========================================================================
