SMC SMP 24: A newly radio-detected planetary nebula in the small magellanic cloud

TL;DR

This paper reports the radio detection of the planetary nebula SMC SMP 24 in the Small Magellanic Cloud, confirming its properties and providing new radio data consistent with previous multi-wavelength observations.

Contribution

First radio-continuum detection of SMC SMP 24, offering new insights into its properties and confirming its classification as a young, compact planetary nebula.

Findings

Radio data consistent with previous multi-wavelength observations

SMC SMP 24 is young and optically thick below 2 GHz

Provides new radio measurements for extragalactic planetary nebulae

Abstract

In this paper we report new radio-continuum detection of an extragalactic PN: SMC SMP 24. We show the radio-continuum image of this PN and present the measured radio data. The newly reduced radio observations are consistent with the multi-wavelength data and derived parameters found in the literature. SMC SMP 24 appear to be a young and compact PN, optically thick at frequencies below 2 GHz.
