Distribution of supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Description
The distribution of SNRs in the LMC may provide some insight concerning the classification of those remnants as Type I or Type II. The distance between each SNR and its nearest H II region was calculated, and the average of these distances was compared to the corresponding value that would be expected if the SNRs were randomly distributed in the LMC. A statistical analysis suggests that the SNRs are closer to H II regions than if the remnants were distributed randomly. Thus, there seems to be an association between SNRs and H II regions which suggests a preponderance of Type II remnants in the LMC. 7 references
