Detection of Linear Polarization in the Radio Remnant of Supernova 1987A
Detection of Linear Polarization in the Radio Remnant of Supernova 1987A
Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud has proven a unique laboratory to investigate particle acceleration in young supernova remnants. Here we report the first detection of linear polarization of the supernova's synchrotron emission from imaging observations at frequencies spanning from 20 to 50 GHz, carried out with the Australia …
