Abstract:
We present the classification of 717 radio-continuum sources from the
Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) Catalogue of the Small
Magellanic Cloud (SMC). All 717 sources have been categorised into one
of three groups: supernova remnants (SNRs), HII regions and background
sources. In total, we name 71 sources as HII regions (or candidates)
and 21 sources as SNRs (or candidates). Six sources are named as
either HII regions or background sources and two are candidate radio
planetary nebulae. One source is coincident with an X-ray binary. We
classify 616 objects as background sources and present their
statistics.

Note (1):
The group name is assigned for separate sources individually defined
at one frequency but linked in a lower one.
Note (2): The class code used here is as follows:
BKG = confirmed background object
bkg = suspected background object
SNR = confirmed supernova remnant
snr = suspected supernova remnant
HII = confirmed HII region
hii = suspected HII region
B/H = background object or HII region; see Paper for details
PN = planetary nebula
XRB = X-ray binary
