Abstract:
By comparing Parkes telescope radio surveys with the X-ray ROSAT
All-Sky Survey (RASS) we have found 71 discrete sources of both radio
and X-ray emission in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). These 71
sources are mainly supernova remnants (SNRs) and SNR candidates (36),
and background sources (27). For six of the sources we have no
proposed identification and the other two are HII regions. A
source-intensity comparison of the radio and X-ray sources shows very
little correlation, but we note that the strongest SNRs at both radio
and X-ray frequencies are young SNRs from Population I. Six new LMC
SNR candidates are proposed. From the radio flux density of the SNRs
we have estimated the SNR birth rate to be one every 100 (±20) yr
and the star-formation rate (SFR) to be 0.7 (±0.2)M☉/yr. A
similar comparison was undertaken for the Small Magellanic Cloud
(SMC), but instead of the RASS we used a roster of pointed
observations made with the ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional
Counter (PSPC). This comparison resulted in 27 sources in common
between the Parkes radio and ROSAT PSPC surveys. Two new SMC sources
are proposed for SNR candidates. The SMC SNR birth rate was estimated
to be one every 350 (±70)yr and the SFR was estimated to be
0.15 (±0.05)M☉/yr.

Note (1): The X-ray source name is taken from Pietsch et al. (in prep.)
in table2.dat and from Kahabka et al. (in prep.) in table3.dat.
More details are given in Sect. 3.
Note (2): In order to extend the radio frequency coverage and to obtain more
accurate radio spectral indices we have also used some flux densities
from other radio catalogues; Clarke et al. (1976AuJPS..40....1C 1976AuJPS..40....1C)
at 0.408GHz, Mills et al. (1984AuJPh..37..321M 1984AuJPh..37..321M) at 0.843GHz and
Milne et al. (1980MNRAS.191..469M 1980MNRAS.191..469M) at 14.7GHz.
Spectral indices are not given for 10 LMC and six SMC sources which
were detected at only one radio frequency or for which radio data are
only available at two close frequencies (4.75GHz and 4.85GHz).
Note (3): BG, bg: background sources
Hii : H II regions
SNR, snr : Supernova remnant
SNR1: evolved SNRs
SNR2: Oxygen-rich SNRs
SNR3: Balmer-dominated SNRs
SNR4: Crab-like SNRs
SNR5: possible type III SNRs
Capitals (BG, SNR and Hii) were used for classifications from previous
works and lower case (bg and snr) for sources classified here
The question-mark indicates probable but not certain classification.
