Radio observations of the Cygnus Loop at 2.7 and 10.7 GHz

Observations of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant, made with the 100- meter radio telescope at 2.7 GHz and 10.7 GHz, reveal much new detail, and appear to confirm the conclusion of Kundu and Becker (1972) that radio emission from the source is predominantly on nonthermal origin. A detailed 10.7 GHz map of the small area around the radio maximum in NGC 6992, indicates only limited correspondence between radio and optical features at a resolution of ~1 arc min. An exceptional point source, located in the northern portion of the Cygnus Loop, has a flat spectruna and is time-variable at 10.7 GHz. This object appears to be physically associated with the supernova remnant. (auth)
