ABSTRACT: "I will present a radio-continuum study of the recently discovered
SNR RX J0852.0-4622. We confirm this object to be an SNR and investigate
its morphology, radio-continuum spectral index and compare the radio with
the ROSAT X-ray data. The structure of RX J0852.0-4622 is shell-like (barrel-shaped/bilateral)
with good correlation between radio-continuum and ROSAT PSPC X-ray emission.
A radio-continuum detection confirms that synchrotron radiation is responsible
for the north and south brightened X-ray limbs."
