Does radiointerferometry, and in particular VLBI, have anything to add to the picture?
SNR in M82 • Muxlow et al. MNRAS 266, 455 (1994) • Pedlar et al. MNRAS 307, 761 (1999) • McDonald et al. MNRAS 322, 100 (2001)
SNR in M82 • Muxlow et al. MNRAS 266, 455 (1994) (MERLIN 6cm, 50mas resol, 23 sources / 15 SNR candidates) • Pedlar et al. MNRAS 307, 761 (1999) (EVN 18cm, 15mas (0.2pc), 5 SNR in detail, all size < 1pc; expansion of 43.31+592: 10,000km/s (1mas/yr); v(41.95+575) < 4000 km/s); ages ranging from decades to hundreds of years)
SNR in M82 • Muxlow et al. • Pedlar et al. • McDonald et al. MNRAS 322, 100 (2001) (20-station VLBI 18cm, 3mas, deceleration of 43.31+592: m>0.73; vradial(41.95+575)<2000 km/s; 41.95+575 a compact, young SNR in a dense medium? Perhaps not.
NGC 2146 • Tarchi et al. A&A (2000) (MERLIN+VLA-6cm, detect 18 sources, resolve 7; only 3 have spectral indices expected for SNR, others compact HII?)
